摘要
The Niemann-Pick C proteins have slowly emerged as regulators of subcellular lipid transport and sterol absorption at the small intestine. A recent article in Cell Metabolism suggests that in addition to their significant structural and sequence homology, these proteins may orchestrate their functions in a previously unappreciated fashion (Voght et al., 2007).
