About Npc1

Summary

Predicted to enable Cholesterol binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cell death and response to cadmium ion. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including membrane raft; nuclear envelope; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be integral component of lysosomal membrane and integral component of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Niemann-Pick disease type C1. Orthologous to human NPC1 (NPC intracellular Cholesterol transporter 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
