Function | Plays a major role in cholesterol homeostasis (PubMed:22095670). Critical for the uptake of cholesterol across the plasma membrane of the intestinal enterocyte (PubMed:22095670). Involved in plant sterol absorption, it transports sitosterol, although at lower rates than cholesterol (By similarity). Is the direct molecular target of ezetimibe, a drug that inhibits cholesterol absorption and is approved for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia (PubMed:15928087). May have a function in the transport of multiple lipids and their homeostasis, thereby influencing lipid metabolism regulation (PubMed:15671032). May be involved in caveolin trafficking from the plasma membrane (By similarity). In addition, acts as a negative regulator of NPC2 and down-regulates its expression and secretion by inhibiting its maturation and accelerating its degradation (PubMed:22095670). |
Cellular Location | Apical cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q6T3U3}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Subfractionation of brush border membranes from proximal enterocytes suggests considerable association with the apical membrane fraction. Exists as a predominantly cell surface membrane expressed protein (By similarity). According to PubMed:15671032, localizes in a subcellular vesicular compartment rich in RAB5. |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed. Expressed in liver. Also expressed in small intestine, pancreas, kidney, lung, pancreas, spleen, heart, gall bladder, brain, testis, stomach and muscle |
