It codes for Niemann-Pick C1-like protein 1, found on the gastrointestinal tract epithelial cells as well as in hepatocytes. Specifically, it appears to bind to a critical mediator of cholesterol absorption.The drug ezetimibe blocks the NPC1L1 causing a reduction in cholesterol absorption, resulting in a blood cholesterol reduction of between 15-20%. Polymorphic variations in NPC1L1 gene could be associated with non-response to ezetimibe treatment. NPC1L1 has been shown to be an accessory receptor for Hepatitis C virus entry into cells, and thus ezetimibe might be used as a therapeutic strategy"@en }
