The Phase 1b trial is a short-term, open-label, single-center study to evaluate the safety profile and effects on retinal function in 8 pediatric subjects (aged 5 to 14 years) diagnosed with LCA due to inherited deficiency of retinal pigment epithelium protein 65 (RPE65) or lecithin: retinol acyltransferase (LRAT).

In a previous study, Monetti et al. [32] report that various lipids, including TG, DAG and ceramides, accumulated in mouse liver as a result of overexpression of acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) but without associated insulin resistance, and they concluded that hepatic steatosis could ensue independently of insulin resistance.

In this study, we present the biochemical characterization of a protein serine acyltransferase present in the microsomal fraction of HEL cells, which we have termed ERAT (endoplasmic reticulum O-acyl transferase).

In order to determine whether the human acyltransferase is membrane-bound or soluble, microsomal membranes were extracted with 1

Enzyme preparations were diluted in buffer to achieve a final protein concentration of 0.5 mg / ml and, when present, of Triton X-100 to 0. 03\%, well below the expected inhibitory concentration to the acyltransferase activity (0. 1\% Triton X-100 results in 20\% inhibition; data not shown).
