Phenotypic expression of swallowing function in Niemann–Pick disease type C1

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2022
Background Niemann–Pick disease type C1 (NPC1) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by endolysosomal accumulation of unesterified cholesterol with progressive deterioration in swallowing, often leading to premature death.

Linear cyclodextrin polymer prodrugs as novel yherapeutics for Niemann-Pick type C1 disorder [PDF]

, 2018
Niemann-Pick Type C1 disorder (NPC) is a rare lysosomal storage disease characterized by the accumulation of cholesterol in lysosomes. NPC has no FDA approved treatments yet, however 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD) has shown efficacy for treating ...

Localization of the murine Niemann-Pick C1 protein to two distinct intracellular compartments

Journal of Lipid Research, 2000
Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is characterized by an accumulation of cholesterol and other lipids in the lysosomal compartment. In this report, we use subcellular fractionation and microscopy to determine the localization of the murine Niemann-Pick ...

Shortened primary cilium length and dysregulated Sonic hedgehog signaling in Niemann-Pick C1 disease [PDF]

, 2017
The Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) disease is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder due to mutations in the NPC1 gene, encoding a transmembrane protein related to the Sonic hedgehog receptor, Patched, and involved in intracellular trafficking of ...

Cytosolic Glucosylceramide regulates endolysosomal function in Niemann-Pick type C disease [PDF]

, 2019
A new paradigm for Niemann-Pick C disease is presented where lysosomal storage leads to a deficit in cytoplasmic glucosylceramide (GlcCer) where it performs important functions.

Niemann-Pick C1 Functions in Regulating Lysosomal Amine Content [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2008
Mutations in the late endosomal/lysosomal membrane protein Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) are known to cause a generalized block in retrograde vesicle-mediated transport, resulting in the hyper-accumulation of multiple lysosomal cargos. An important, yet often overlooked, category of lysosomal cargo includes the vast array of small molecular weight amine ...

Structural basis for itraconazole-mediated NPC1 inhibition

Nature Communications, 2020
Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) exports low-density-lipoprotein (LDL)-derived cholesterol from lysosomes and comporses a Sterol-Sensing Domain (SSD). Here authors report a cryo-EM structure of human NPC1 bound to itraconazole which reveals how this binding site ...

Establishing the precise evolutionary history of a gene improves prediction of disease-causing missense mutations [PDF]

, 2016
PURPOSE: Predicting the phenotypic effects of mutations has become an important application in clinical genetic diagnostics. Computational tools evaluate the behavior of the variant over evolutionary time and assume that variations seen during the course

Plasmodium Niemann-Pick type C1-related protein is a druggable target required for parasite membrane homeostasis

eLife, 2019
Plasmodium parasites possess a protein with homology to Niemann-Pick Type C1 proteins (Niemann-Pick Type C1-Related protein, NCR1). We isolated parasites with resistance-conferring mutations in Plasmodium falciparum NCR1 (PfNCR1) during selections with ...
