Niemann-Pick type C2 (Npc2) is a lysosomal protein in which a mutation in the gene causes a rare form of Niemann-Pick type C disease, an autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder characterized by accumulation of low-density lipoprotein-derived cholesterol in lysosomes. Although Npc2 is known to bind cholesterol, the function of this protein is unknown. These proteins belong to the ML domain family.
