Epididymal secretory protein E1
text:
The epididymal secretory protein E1, also known as NPC2, is one of two main lysosomal transport proteins that assist in the regulation of cellular cholesterol by exportation of LDL-derived cholesterol from lysosomes. Lysosomes have digestive enzymes that allow it to break down LDL particles to LDL-derived cholesterol once the LDL particle is engulfed into the cell via receptor mediated endocytosis. NPC2 works cooperatively with the NPC1 protein to facilitate the exportation of LDL-derived choles
