摘要: Niemann-Pick Type C disease (NP-C) is characterized by abnormal accumulation of endocytosed cholesterol in lysosomes and the Golgi complex delayed induction cellular homeostatic responses to cholesterol. Positional complementation cloning has recently identified both human NPC1 syntenic mouse Npc1 genes. Complementation analysis shown that a second mutant gene, designated NPC2, produces an identical phenotype. The notable defect NP-C involves impaired trafficking lysosomally-derived plasma membrane endoplasmic reticulum. Defective enrichment regulatory sterol pools reticulum delays responses. Current evidence suggests two NPC proteins may: (i) mediate transport endocytically-derived from (ii) be linked regulation anterograde retrograde transport. In addition disruptions metabolism, glycolipids along protein-mediated pathway may play role neuropathology associated with disease. Future studies genes their products will provide insight into relationship between glycolipid trafficking.
