Scope note: Transportador transmembranario intracelular de lípidos que ayuda en el transporte de lípidos, en particular del colesterol, desde el endosoma tardío/ribosoma al retículo endoplásmico y a la membrana plasmática. También es posible que intervenga en otros procesos homeostáticos celulares del colesterol y es un receptor de entrada endosómico para filovirus tales como los VIRUS TIPO ÉBOLA. Las mutaciones de la NPC1 se asocian a la ENFERMEDAD DE NIEMANN-PICK de tipo C.

Scope note: A transmembrane intracellular lipid transporter that helps trafficking lipids, particularly cholesterol, from late endosome/lysosome to the ER and plasma membrane. It may also play a role in other cellular cholesterol homeostasis and is an endosomal entry receptor for filoviruses including EBOLAVIRUS. Mutations in the NPC1 are associated with type C NIEMANN-PICK DISEASE.
