Extra Details:: Intracellular cholesterol transporter which acts in concert with NPC2 and plays an important role in the egress of cholesterol from the endosomal/lysosomal compartment. Unesterified cholesterol that has been released from LDLs in the lumen of the late endosomes/lysosomes is transferred by NPC2 to the cholesterol-binding pocket in the N-terminal domain of NPC1. Cholesterol binds to NPC1 with the hydroxyl group buried in the binding pocket. Binds oxysterol with higher affinity than cholesterol. May play a role in vesicular trafficking in glia, a process that may be crucial for maintaining the structural and functional integrity of nerve terminals (Probable).; (Microbial infection) Acts as an endosomal entry receptor for ebolavirus. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa23-261 from human NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1, fused to 6X His-Myc-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in Yeast.
