• Background: Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) is a member of a family of genes encoding membrane-bound proteins containing putative sterol sensing domains. NPC1 protein regulates cholesterol transport from late endosomes-lysosomes to other intracellular compartments. NPC1 overexpression increases the rate of trafficking of low density lipoprotein cholesterol to the endoplasmic reticulum and the rate of delivery of endosomal cholesterol to the plasma membrane. NPC disease is an inherited neurovisceral lipid storage disorder of unesterified cholesterol accumulation in lysosomes. It is characterized by progressive neural and liver degeneration, resulting from inactivating mutations in NPC1, in most cases.
• Synonyms: NPC
• Note: This Niemann-Pick C1 antibody is useful for Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry paraffin embedded sections, Immunoprecipitation and Western blot. In Western blot the antibody detects heterogeneously glycosylated NPC1 protein with prominent bands at 170 and 220 kDa. It has also been tested for immuno-EM (on human protein only). Use in Electron Microscopy reported in scientific literature (PMID: 21051527)
