Deficiency of a Niemann-Pick, type C1-related protein in toxoplasma is associated with multiple lipidoses and increased pathogenicity. [PDF]
Several proteins that play key roles in cholesterol synthesis, regulation, trafficking and signaling are united by sharing the phylogenetically conserved 'sterol-sensing domain' (SSD).

Clinical and genetic analysis of lipoprotein glomerulopathy patients caused by APOE mutations
For the first time APOE‐Osaka/Kurashiki and APOE‐Chicago mutations reported in Chinese; Lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) patients with urine protein remission had slower renal function decrease; LPG was associated with higher blood pressure; Serum apoE levels were higher in patients with low‐density lipoprotein receptor binding region mutations of APOE

Over the last decade, we witnessed an unprecedented interest in lysosomes, most prominently as catabolic centers and as intracellular signaling platforms. Interestingly, lysosomal activity is strongly dependent on organelle numbers, size and position. The dynamic nature of lysosomes has been extensively documented but the importance of lysosomal size ...

Metabolomic studies of lipid storage disorders, with special reference to Niemann-Pick type C disease: a critical review with future perspectives [PDF]
Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are predominantly very rare recessive autosomal neurodegenerative diseases.Sphingolipidoses, a sub-group of LSDs, result from defects in lysosomal enzymes involved in sphingolipid catabolism, and feature disrupted ...
