The prognostic value of Niemann-Pick C1-like protein 1 and Niemann-Pick disease type C2 in hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) and Niemann-Pick C2 (NPC2) is a critical mediator of cholesterol absorption. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prognostic value of NPC1L1 and NPC2 in human primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The expression level of NPC1L1 and NPC2 were evaluated by Immunohistochemistry, Westen blot and Real-time ...

Membrane topology of human NPC1L1, a key protein in enterohepatic cholesterol absorption
The Niemann-Pick C1 Like 1 (NPC1L1) is a predicted polytopic membrane protein that is critical for cholesterol absorption. NPC1L1 takes up free cholesterol into cells through vesicular endocytosis.

Interaction of cholesterol with sphingosine
Molecular associations between sphingomyelin and cholesterol provide a molecular basis for the colocalization of these lipids in plasma membrane microdomains (lipid rafts) and for the inhibitory effect of sphingomyelin on the intestinal absorption of ...

Genetic inactivation of NPC1L1 protects against sitosterolemia in mice lacking ABCG5/ABCG8
Mice lacking Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) (NPC1L1−/−mice) exhibit a defect in intestinal absorption of cholesterol and phytosterols. However, wild-type (WT) mice do not efficiently absorb and accumulate phytosterols either.

Deficiency of Niemann-Pick C1 Like 1 Prevents Atherosclerosis in ApoE−/−Mice [PDF]
Objective—The objective of this study was to determine whether the deficiency of Niemann-Pick C1 Like 1 (Npc1l1) prevents atherosclerosis in apoE null mice.Methods and Results—Npc1l1−/−/apoE null−/−mice were generated and found to have a significant reduction in cholesterol absorption (−77%) compared with wild-type or apoE−/−mice.
