What is the role of NPC1 and NPC2 in drug metabolism?
The role of NPC1 and NPC2 in drug metabolism can be linked to their involvement in cellular lipid handling. Drugs that influence cholesterol metabolism or lysosomal function may indirectly affect the activity of these genes. Understanding the interaction between pharmaceuticals and NPC1/NPC2 is crucial for predicting potential side effects related to lipid metabolism disturbances.
