Niemann-Pick disease, type C2
NPC2, HEI, HE1
This gene encodes a protein containing a lipid recognition domain. The encoded protein may function in regulating the transport of cholesterol through the late endosomal/lysosomal system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Niemann-Pick disease, type C2 and frontal lobe atrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] (from

München, Germany. In Eur J Med Chem, Jan 2016
UNASSIGNED: The cyclization of oxidosqualene to lanosterol, catalyzed by the enzyme oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC), goes through a number of carbocationic high energy intermediates (HEI), and mimicking these intermediates is a promising approach for the development of OSC inhibitors.

Beijing, China. In Zhongguo Dang Dai Er Ke Za Zhi, May 2015
Impaired cholesterol trafficking and unesterified cholesterol accumulation in the late endosomes and lysosomals, as a results of mutations in NPC1 or NPC2 genes, are initial for the disease, and defective cellular autophagy, defective lysosomal calcium homeostasis and oxidative stress may all play roles in the physiological processes.
