The Niemann-Pick C proteins have slowly emerged as regulators of subcellular lipid transport and sterol absorption at the small intestine. A recent article in Cell Metabolism suggests that in addition to their significant structural and sequence homology, these proteins may orchestrate their functions in a previously unappreciated fashion (Voght et al., 2007).
尼曼-皮克C蛋白已逐渐成为亚细胞脂质转运和小肠胆固醇吸收的调节因子。《细胞代谢》最近发表的一篇文章表明,除了具有显著的结构和序列同源性外,这些蛋白质可能以一种前所未有的方式协调其功能(Voght等人,2007年)。
