ORF , Verified
Description
Sterol transport protein, functional homolog of human NPC2 Niemann-Pick disease type C2 protein; together with Ncr1p mediates integration of ergosterol into vacuolar membrane; functions as general “lipid solubilizer”, binds variety of amphiphilic lipid ligands; targeted to vacuole via Vps10p-dependent endosomal vacuolar protein sorting pathway; yeast NPC2 can complement mutations in human NPC2 1 2 3 4
Name Description
Niemann Pick type C homolog 1
Comparative Info

Homologs

Homology calls are sourced from the Alliance of Genome Resources. Many aspects of data integration presented at the Alliance require a common set of orthology relationships among genes for the organisms represented, including human. The Alliance provides the results of all methods that have been benchmarked by the Quest for Orthologs Consortium (QfO). The homolog inferences from the different methods have been integrated using the DRSC Integrative Ortholog Prediction Tool (DIOPT), which integrates a number of existing methods including those used by the Alliance: Ensembl Compara, HGNC, Hieranoid, InParanoid, OMA, OrthoFinder, OrthoInspector, PANTHER, PhylomeDB, Roundup, TreeFam, and ZFIN.
