Specifically, GEX1A restores cholesterol homeostasis in NPC1 mutant cell lines and cells induced with the disease associated phenotype. Histone deacetylase inhibitors, such as trichostatin A and vorinostat, have recently been shown to restore cholesterol homeostasis in Niemann-Pick type C mutant cell lines. cache/r207tm7328m.txt txt/r207tm7328m.txt
