AREL1

O15033

FUNCTION: Intracellular cholesterol transporter which acts in concert with NPC1 and plays an important role in the egress of cholesterol from the lysosomal compartment (PubMed:17018531, PubMed:11125141, PubMed:18772377, PubMed:29580834, PubMed:15937921). Unesterified cholesterol that has been released from LDLs in the lumen of the late endosomes/lysosomes is transferred by NPC2 to the cholesterol-binding pocket in the N-terminal domain of NPC1 (PubMed:17018531, PubMed:18772377, PubMed:27238017). May bind and mobilize cholesterol that is associated with membranes (PubMed:18823126). NPC2 binds cholesterol with a 1:1 stoichiometry (PubMed:17018531). Can bind a variety of sterols, including lathosterol, desmosterol and the plant sterols stigmasterol and beta-sitosterol (PubMed:17018531). The secreted form of NCP2 regulates biliary cholesterol secretion via stimulation of ABCG5/ABCG8-mediated cholesterol transport (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z0J0, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11125141, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15937921, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17018531, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18772377, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18823126, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27238017, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29580834}.FUNCTION: E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates. Inhibits apoptosis by ubiquitinating and targeting for degradation a number of proapoptotic proteins including DIABLO/SMAC, HTRA2 and SEPT4/ARTS which are released from the mitochondrion into the cytosol following apoptotic stimulation (PubMed:23479728). Modulates pulmonary inflammation by targeting SOCS2 for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation by the proteasome (PubMed:31578312). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23479728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31578312}.
