The inactivation of the Niemann Pick C1 cholesterol transporter restricts SARS-CoV-2 entry into host cells by decreasing ACE2 abundance at the plasma membrane by Piergiorgio La Rosa, Jessica Tiberi, Enrico Palermo, Roberta Stefanelli, Sofia Maria Luigia Tiano, Sonia Canterini, Mirko Cortese, John Hiscott, Maria Teresa Fiorenza

“…Abstract Background The Niemann Pick C1 (NPC1) protein is an intracellular cholesterol transporter located in the late endosome/lysosome (LE/Ly) that is involved in the mobilization of endocytosed cholesterol. Loss-of-function mutations in the NPC1 gene lead to the accumulation of cholesterol and sphingolipids in LE/Ly, resulting in severe fatal NPC1 disease. …”
