Cholesteryl esters are formed when a cholesterol molecule is esterified with a fatty acid. This process makes cholesterol more hydrophobic, allowing it to be transported more easily within lipoproteins in the bloodstream
Keshavamurthy et al. 2023 J Chem Inf Model 63(10): 3054-3067

Cholesteryl esters are primarily associated with lipoproteins, especially High-density lipoprotein (HDL) and Low-Density-Lipoproteins (LDL)
Kurano et al. 2017 Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 37(3): 506-514
