“…Because the NPC1 protein has transmembrane domains, it is likely the diffuse cellular immunofluorescence under conditions of cholesterol depletion represents NPC1's diffuse distribution in an exten- sive membranous compartment, perhaps the endoplasmic reticulum. A similar effect of cellular cholesterol enrichment on NPC1 protein distribution was reported in an independent study (23). It should be noted that in these cholesterol-enriched cells, the NPC1 protein and cholesterol remain in separate and distinct LAMP-containing vesicles.…”

“…Alternatively, it is also possible that the early endosomal GM1 accumulation is secondary to abnormal cholesterol trafficking in NPC cells. This hypothesis is supported by several lines of evidence that both intracellular levels and distribution of gangliosides could be modulated by cellular low-density lipoprotein uptake in NPC1-deficient CHO cells (7) as well as in normal human fibroblasts (26). It is the subject for future studies to test these hypotheses.…”

“…Because other factors may also contribute to detergent insolubility (see below), this may be an overestimation. The possibility that raft depletion does not impair internalization has been suggested from experiments examining PM-to-Golgi delivery of ricin, lactosylceramide, and cholera toxin (Puri et al, 1999;Rodal et al, 1999;Shogomori and Futerman, 2001). In all cases, no decreases in internalization were observed.…”
