Research Abstract |
Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) is known to contribute to the cholesterol absorption in the small intestine and liver and is believed to be a pharmacological target of ezetimibe. As a result of the present study, we succeeded in the construction of human NPC1L1 promoter-driven adenovirus for the expression of human NPC1L1. In addition, it was demonstrated that L-FABP is involved in the positive regulation of the expression of NPC1L1 protein in a post-transcriptional manner. These results would be important to understand the relationship between the pathogenesis of obesity-related diseases and sterol transporters.
