NPC1L1 Antibody (N-term) western blot analysis in 293 cell line lysates (35ug/lane).This demonstrates the NPC1L1 antibody detected the NPC1L1 protein (arrow).
Plays a major role in cholesterol homeostasis. Is critical for the uptake of cholesterol across the plasma membrane of the intestinal enterocyte. Is the direct molecular target of ezetimibe, a drug that inhibits cholesterol absorbtion. Lack of activity leads to multiple lipid transport defects. The protein may have a function in the transport of multiple lipids and their homeostasis, and may play a critical role in regulating lipid metabolism. Acts as a negative regulator of NPC2 and down- regulates its expression and secretion by inhibiting its maturation and accelerating its degradation
Tissue Specificity
Widely expressed. Expressed in liver. Also expressed in small intestine, pancreas, kidney, lung, pancreas, spleen, heart, gall bladder, brain, testis, stomach and muscle
Cellular Localization
Apical cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein (By similarity). Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Subfractionation of brush border membranes from proximal enterocytes suggests considerable association with the apical membrane fraction. Exists as a predominantly cell surface membrane expressed protein (By similarity). According to PubMed:15671032, localizes in a subcellular vesicular compartment rich in RAB5
