1 Drugs that block sterol transport out of lysosomes also redistribute NPC1 to cholesterol-laden lysosomes. Sterols NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 Homo sapiens
2 These findings suggest that NPC1(+) vesicles may transiently interact with lysosomes to facilitate sterol relocation. Sterols NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 Homo sapiens
3 Low density lipoprotein uptake by normal cells retards retrograde transport of [14C]sucrose through this same kinetic compartment, further suggesting that it may contain the sterol-sensing NPC1 protein. Sterols NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 Homo sapiens
4 We conclude that a distinctive organelle containing NPC1 mediates retrograde lysosomal transport of endocytosed cargo that is not restricted to sterol. Sterols NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 Homo sapiens
