Target

Full Name
NPC Intracellular Cholesterol Transporter 2
Introduction
This gene encodes a protein containing a lipid recognition domain. The encoded protein may function in regulating the transport of cholesterol through the late endosomal/lysosomal system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Niemann-Pick disease, type C2 and frontal lobe atrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Alternative Names
NPC Intracellular Cholesterol Transporter 2; Niemann-Pick Disease Type C2 Protein; Human Epididymis-Specific Protein 1; Epididymal Protein 1; HE1; Tissue-Specific Secretory Protein; Epididymal Secretory Protein E1; Niemann-Pick Disease, Type C2; EDDM1;
Function
Intracellular cholesterol transporter which acts in concert with NPC1 and plays an important role in the egress of cholesterol from the lysosomal compartment (PubMed:17018531, PubMed:11125141, PubMed:18772377, PubMed:29580834, PubMed:15937921).
Unesterified cholesterol that has been released from LDLs in the lumen of the late endosomes/lysosomes is transferred by NPC2 to the cholesterol-binding pocket in the N-terminal domain of NPC1 (PubMed:17018531, PubMed:18772377, PubMed:27238017).
May bind and mobilize cholesterol that is associated with membranes (PubMed:18823126).
NPC2 binds cholesterol with a 1:1 stoichiometry (PubMed:17018531).
Can bind a variety of sterols, including lathosterol, desmosterol and the plant sterols stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol (PubMed:17018531).
The secreted form of NCP2 regulates biliary cholesterol secretion via stimulation of ABCG5/ABCG8-mediated cholesterol transport (By similarity).

Involvement in disease
Niemann-Pick disease C2 (NPC2):
A lysosomal storage disorder that affects the viscera and the central nervous system. It is due to defective intracellular processing and transport of low-density lipoprotein derived cholesterol. It causes accumulation of cholesterol in lysosomes, with delayed induction of cholesterol homeostatic reactions. Niemann-Pick disease type C2 has a highly variable clinical phenotype. Clinical features include variable hepatosplenomegaly and severe progressive neurological dysfunction such as ataxia, dystonia and dementia. The age of onset can vary from infancy to late adulthood.
