Catalyzes the formation of fatty acid-cholesterol esters, which are less soluble in membranes than cholesterol (PubMed:11294643, PubMed:16647063). Plays a role in lipoprotein assembly and dietary cholesterol absorption (PubMed:11294643). Utilizes oleoyl-CoA ((9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA) and linolenoyl-CoA ((9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadecatrienoyl-CoA) as substrates (PubMed:11294643). May provide cholesteryl esters for lipoprotein secretion from hepatocytes and intestinal mucosa (PubMed:11294643).; [Isoform 2]: Has lower enzymatic activity compared to isoform 1.; [Isoform 3]: Has lower enzymatic activity compared to isoform 1.
