GENE INFORMATION
Gene name	NPC2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms	EDDM1, HE1, NP-C2
Description	Niemann-Pick disease, type C2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary	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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
