Abstract excerpt
Niemann-Pick type C2 (NPC2) protein has been characterized as a cholesterol-binding protein. Its loss leads to NPC2 disease, an inherited neurodegenerative disorder. When analyzing gene expression profile, we noticed high expression of both NPC2 and its receptor, mannose 6-phosphate receptor (MPR), in murine hematopoietic stem cells. NPC2 protein, in the presence of thrombopoietin (TPO), causes an increase in...
