Cathepsin D-deficient Drosophila recapitulate the key features of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of lysosomal storage disorders characterized pathologically by neuronal accumulation of autofluorescent storage material and neurodegeneration. An ovine NCL form is caused by a recessive point mutation in

Global Brain Transcriptome Analysis of a Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses Mouse Model [PDF]
In humans, homozygous mutations in the TPP1 gene results in loss of tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1) enzymatic activity, leading to late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses disease.

First Reported Case of CLN5 Disease in Japan: Identification of a Novel Homozygous Pathogenic Variant Through Whole Genome Sequencing. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) belong to a group of inherited neurodegenerative diseases characterized by psychomotor regression, seizures, and visual impairment, resulting from intracellular accumulation of lipofuscin. CLN5, a subtype typically manifesting between ages 4 to 17, is particularly rare in non‐Finnish populations.

Pathomechanisms in the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of inherited neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), traditionally grouped together based on shared clinical symptoms. The recent emergence of new forms of NCL along with an improved understanding of endo-lysosomal system function have necessitated the reassessment of their ...

Perioperative care of a patient with neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are a group of inherited, autosomal recessive, and progressive neurodegenerative diseases, which result from an enzymatic defect or the deficiency of a transmembrane protein, leading to the accumulation of ...

Palmitoyl-Protein Thioesterase 1 (PPT1) Protein, Linked to Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 1, Is a Major Constituent of Ageing-Related Human Neuronal Lipofuscin. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Proteomics of laser‐dissected lipofuscin from aged, healthy brains reveals Palmitoyl‐Protein Thioesterase 1 (PPT1) and other CLN proteins as constituents. PPT1 is increasingly sequestered to lipofuscin during ageing. Protein sequestering into lipofuscin may contribute to physiological neuronal ageing.

The Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses
Abstract The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL), also known as Batten disease, are a group of inherited lysosomal storage disorders that share similar pathological and clinical features. They are characterized by accumulation of autofluorescent storage material within the lysosome and the death of neurons.
