Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) has been shown to be involved in cholesterol transport. Among nonsynonymous variants found from cholesterol low absorbers, six variants were located within only 39 amino acids in the predicted extracellular loop of NPC1L1 protein, suggesting the importance of the region with regard to the function of NPC1L1. In this study, we performed in-vitro analysis to determine the...
