Mutations in the NPC1 gene cause the rare neurodegenerative disease Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC). This entry represents the middle luminal domain (MLD) of NPC1, which contains the Ebola glycoprotein interacting site [5].
Domain
PF16414Niemann-Pick C1 N terminus (NPC1_N)Niemann-Pick C1 N terminusThis is the N-terminal domain of Niemann-Pick C1 family proteins. This family of proteins mediates transport of cholesterol from the intestinal lumen to enterocytes. This domain contains a cholesterol-binding pocket [1-2].Domain
