Summary: This gene encodes a CD36-like type III transmembrane glycoprotein that localizes to the lysosomal membrane. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit an increased postnatal mortality caused by an obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction, deafness, peripheral demyelinating neuropathy and tubular proteinuria.

New observations from this study include altered expression of Pcp2 and Limp2 in Npc1 mutant mice relative to control, with Pcp2 exhibiting multiple isoforms and specific to the cerebella. This study provides valuable insight into pathways altered in the late-stage pathophysiology of NPC1
Title: Quantitative, Label-Free Proteomics in the Symptomatic Niemann-Pick, Type C1 Mouse Model Using Standard Flow Liquid Chromatography and Thermal Focusing Electrospray Ionization.
Study provides multiple lines of evidence that LIMP-2 participates in lipid transport from lysosomes by transporting cholesterol (and possibly also other lipid species) through its luminal cavity to the lysosomal membrane and later to lipid droplets. Data indicate that LIMP-2 operates in parallel with Niemann Pick (NPC)-proteins, mediating a slower mode of lysosomal cholesterol export.

LIMP-2 facilitates transport of phospholipids into murine fibroblasts, with a strong substrate preference for phosphatidylserine.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
