NPC2 (P61916) variants and mutations

NPC2 (also known as P61916) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 2 protein. A lysosomal cholesterol-binding protein that works with NPC1 to move cholesterol out of late endosomes and lysosomes. Variants cause Niemann-Pick disease type C. This analysis covers 317 NPC2 variants and mutations. Of these, 98% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes Niemann-Pick disease, type C2, Niemann-Pick disease type C, and hereditary disease. Example NPC2 variants include M1I, M1K, and M1R.
