Cholesterol esterification is the lipid modification process in which a sterol ester is formed by the combination of a carboxylic acid (often a fatty acid) and cholesterol. In the blood this process is associated with the conversion of free cholesterol into cholesteryl ester, which is then sequestered into the core of a lipoprotein particle.",IDA GO:0010879,BP,"cholesterol transport involved in cholesterol storage","The directed movement of cholesterol into cells that is part of their accumulation and maintenance.",IDA GO:0015485,MF,"cholesterol binding","Interacting selectively and non-covalently with cholesterol (cholest-5-en-3-beta-ol); the principal sterol of vertebrates and the precursor of many steroids, including bile acids and steroid hormones.",IDA GO:0016023,CC,"cytoplasmic, membrane-bounded vesicle","A membrane-bounded vesicle found in the cytoplasm of the cell.",IEA GO:0017127,MF,"cholesterol transporter activity","Enables the directed movement of cholesterol into, out of or within a cell, or between cells.
