Abstract excerpt

Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease, characterized by accumulation of low density lipoprotein-derived free cholesterol in lysosomes, is caused by mutations in the NPC1 gene. We examined the ability of wild-type NPC1 and NPC1 mutants to correct the NPC sterol trafficking defect and their subcellular localization in CT60 cells. Cells transfected with wild-type NPC1 expressed 170- and 190-kDa proteins. Tunicamycin...
