The present invention provides human, rat and mouse NPCIL1 polypeptides and polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides. Methods for detecting ligands which bind to NPC1L1 and block intestinal cholesterol absorption are provided. Also included is a method of identifying ligands which bind to NPCILI using membranes derived from brush border membrane preparations. Compounds that bind to NPCILI can be used for inhibiting intestinal cholesterol absorption in a subject.
本发明提供人、大鼠和小鼠NPCIL1多肽和编码该多肽的多核苷酸。提供检测与NPC1L1结合并阻止肠道胆固醇吸收的配体的方法。还包括使用来自刷状缘膜制备的膜鉴定与NPCILI结合的配体的方法。与NPCILI结合的化合物可用于抑制受试者的肠道胆固醇吸收。
