Summary: Predicted to enable cholesterol binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; embryonic morphogenesis; and megakaryocyte development. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; liver; nervous system; pleuroperitoneal region; and yolk syncytial layer. Used to study Niemann-Pick disease type C1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Niemann-Pick disease type C1. Orthologous to human NPC1 (NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1).

What's a GeneRIF?

this is the first report, showing a role of NPC1 in platelet function and formation but further studies are needed to define how cholesterol storage interferes with these processes

npc1 is required early for proper cell movement and cholesterol localization and later for cell survival

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
