Mammalian NPC1 genes may undergo positive selection and human polymorphisms associate with type 2 diabetes
BACKGROUND: The NPC1 gene encodes a protein involved in intracellular lipid trafficking; its second endosomal loop (loop 2) is a receptor for filoviruses. A polymorphism (His215Arg) in NPC1 was associated with obesity in Europeans. Adaptations to diet and pathogens represented powerful selective for...
