Gene information for PPT1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5538
Official gene symbolPPT1
Full namepalmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1
Aliases,CLN1,INCL,PPT,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a small glycoprotein involved in the catabolism of lipid-modified proteins during lysosomal degradation. The encoded enzyme removes thioester-linked fatty acyl groups such as palmitate from cysteine residues. Defects in this gene are a cause of infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 1 (CLN1, or INCL) and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 4 (CLN4). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
