Protein Information
Name	NPC1 (HGNC:7897)
Function	Intracellular cholesterol transporter which acts in concert with NPC2 and plays an important role in the egress of cholesterol from the endosomal/lysosomal compartment (PubMed:10821832, PubMed:12554680, PubMed:18772377, PubMed:27238017, PubMed:9211849, PubMed:9927649). Unesterified cholesterol that has been released from LDLs in the lumen of the late endosomes/lysosomes is transferred by NPC2 to the cholesterol-binding pocket in the N-terminal domain of NPC1 (PubMed:18772377, PubMed:19563754, PubMed:27238017, PubMed:27378690, PubMed:28784760, PubMed:9211849, PubMed:9927649). Cholesterol binds to NPC1 with the hydroxyl group buried in the binding pocket (PubMed:19563754). Mediates cholesterol transfer from lysosomes to endoplasmic reticulum by tethering endosomal/lysosomal compartments and endoplasmic reticulum membrane contact sites where it interacts with sterol transport protein GRAMD1B (PubMed:31537798). Binds oxysterol with higher affinity than cholesterol. May play a role in vesicular trafficking in glia, a process that may be crucial for maintaining the structural and functional integrity of nerve terminals (Probable). Inhibits cholesterol-mediated mTORC1 activation throught its interaction with SLC38A9 (PubMed:28336668).
