Mechanistic Basis of Cholesterol Binding and Transfer in NPC2: Insights From Molecular Dynamics Simulations
{{output}}
The Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is characterized by impaired function of the lysosomal proteins NPC1 or NPC2. The soluble NPC2 protein is believed to transport cholesterol to the larger, membrane-bound NPC1, thereby maintaining cholesterol homeostasis; d... ...
