| Modification Notes | Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by the accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in the endosomal/lysosomal system, which results in progressive neurodegeneration and death. Niemann-Pick C1-like protein 1 precusor, or NPC1L1, is a membrane protein involved in the uptake of cholesterol at the intestinal enterocyte across the plasma membrane. NPC1L1 is widely expressed and is the target of ezetimibe, a drug involved in the inhibition of cholesterol absorption. In human, mouse and rat, small intestine tissue shows the highest level of NPC1L1 expression; expression in other tissues includes gallbladder, liver, testis and stomach. The NPC1L1 gene contains 20 exons, with an unusually large 1,526 bp exon 2, and spans approximately 29 kb. The presumed promoter region of the gene harbors a sterol-regulatory element (SRE) for SRE-binding protein, further suggesting that NPC1L1 may play a role in subcellular cholesterol homeostasis. |
