Epididymal secretory protein E1 (also called NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 2, or NPC2) is a protein associated with Niemann-Pick disease, type C. It is mapped to 14q24.3. This gene encodes a protein containing a lipid recognition domain. The encoded protein may function in regulating the transport of cholesterol through the late endosomal/lysosomal system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Niemann-Pick disease, type C2 and frontal lobe atrophy.
Optimal dilution of the Niemann Pick C2 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Recombinant human protein (amino acids E20-L151) was used as the immunogen for the Niemann Pick C2 antibody.
After reconstitution, the Niemann Pick C2 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
