Assessment of FDA-Approved Drugs as a Therapeutic Approach for Niemann-Pick Disease Type C1 Using Patient-Specific iPSC-Based Model Systems

Cells, 2022
Niemann-Pick type C1 (NP-C1) is a fatal, progressive neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the NPC1 gene. Mutations of NPC1 can result in a misfolded protein that is subsequently marked for proteasomal degradation.

Niemann-Pick C1 protein regulates cholesterol transport to the trans-Golgi network and plasma membrane caveolae

Journal of Lipid Research, 2002
The Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) protein regulates cholesterol transport from late endosomes-lysosomes to other intracellular compartments. In this article, cholesterol transport to caveolin-1 and caveolin-2 containing compartments, such as the trans-Golgi ...

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

Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) Protein in Intestinal and Hepatic Cholesterol Transport [PDF]

Annual Review of Physiology, 2011
Increased blood cholesterol is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Cholesterol homeostasis in the body is controlled mainly by endogenous synthesis, intestinal absorption, and hepatic excretion. Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) is a polytopic transmembrane protein localized at the apical membrane of enterocytes and ...

Adenosine A_2A Receptor Activation Regulates Niemann–Pick C1 Expression and Localization in Macrophages

Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023
Adenosine plays an important role in modulating immune cell function, particularly T cells and myeloid cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells. Cell surface adenosine A2A receptors (A2AR) regulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and ...
