1 Progesterone inhibits intracellular transport of lysosomal cholesterol in cultured cells, and thus at least in part mimics the biochemical phenotype of Niemann-Pick type C disease (NPC) in human fibroblasts. Progesterone NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 Homo sapiens
2 Progesterone also partially inhibited 25-hydroxycholesterol-induced cholesterol esterification, with similar dose-dependence in normal and NPC fibroblasts. Progesterone NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 Homo sapiens
