NPC1L1 (human) full length protein-synthetic nanodisc

Discover a breakthrough in membrane protein research and drug development with DIMA Biotech's Synthetic Nanodiscs. Traditional methods struggle with challenges in obtaining water-soluble and bioactive forms of multi-transmembrane proteins. Our innovative polymer-based Nanodisc platform offers a game-changing solution by excluding membrane scaffold proteins (MSPs), resulting in a cleaner system with fewer interferences for downstream assays. By disassembling cell membranes into nanoscale disc-shaped structures, our technology enables the purification of membrane proteins to high homogeneity under aqueous conditions. Explore how Synthetic Nanodiscs empower the functional characterization of multi-span transmembrane proteins in their active form, revolutionizing the future of membrane protein research and drug development. Protein function: Plays a major role in cholesterol homeostasis. Is critical for the uptake of cholesterol across the plasma membrane of the intestinal enterocyte. Is the direct molecular target of ezetimibe, a drug that inhibits cholesterol absorption. Lack of activity leads to multiple lipid transport defects. The protein may have a function in the transport of multiple lipids and their homeostasis, and may play a critical role in regulating lipid metabolism. Acts as a negative regulator of NPC2 and down-regulates its expression and secretion by inhibiting its maturation and accelerating its degradation. [The UniProt Consortium]
