Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable cholesterol binding activity. Involved in cholesterol homeostasis; cholesterol transport; and nematode larval development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Expressed in XXXL; XXXR; gonadal sheath cell; spermatheca; and ventral nerve cord. Used to study Niemann-Pick disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Niemann-Pick disease type C1. Is an ortholog of human NPC1 (NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (30)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
