In chemistry, esters are organic compounds in which an organic group replaces a hydrogen atom (or more than one) in an oxygen acid. An oxygen acid is an acid whose molecule has an -OH group from which the hydrogen (H) can dissociate as an H+ ion. A cholesterolester is an esterified form of cholesterol. Cholesterol esters, i.e. with long-chain fatty acids linked to the hydroxyl group, are much less polar than free cholesterol and appear to be the preferred form for transport in plasma and for storage. See also the article on LipidLibrary on cholesterolesters.
