Glycosylation, transport, and complex formation of palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1) – distinct characteristics in neurons [PDF]
Background Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are collectively the most common type of recessively inherited childhood encephalopathies. The most severe form of NCL, infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL), is caused by mutations in the CLN1 ...

Histochemical localization of palmitoyl protein thioesterase-1 activity. [PDF]
Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL, Infantile Batten disease) is an invariably fatal neurodegenerative pediatric disorder caused by an inherited mutation in the PPT1 gene. Patients with INCL lack the lysosomal enzyme palmitoyl protein thioesterase-1 (PPT1, EC 3.1.2.22), resulting in intracellular accumulation of autofluorescent storage ...

Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL) is one of a group of fatal hereditary lysosomal storage disorders. Palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 null mutant mice (PPT1−/−) now exist that accurately recapitulate many important disease features.

Identification of New Modulators and Inhibitors of Palmitoyl-Protein Thioesterase 1 for CLN1 Batten Disease and Cancer [PDF]
Palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1) is an understudied enzyme that is gaining attention due to its role in the depalmitoylation of several proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. PPT1 is overexpressed in several cancers, specifically cholangiocarcinoma and esophageal cancers.

Cerebellar pathology and motor deficits in the palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1-deficient mouse. [PDF]
Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL, Infantile Batten Disease) is an inherited, neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder. INCL is the result of a CLN1 gene mutation leading to a deficiency in palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1 ...

Widespread Expression of a Membrane-Tethered Version of the Soluble Lysosomal Enzyme Palmitoyl Protein Thioesterase-1. [PDF]
"Cross-correction," the transfer of soluble lysosomal enzymes between neighboring cells, forms the foundation for therapeutics of lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs). However, "cross-correction" poses a significant barrier to studying the role of specific cell types in LSD pathogenesis.

Palmitoyl-protein Thioesterase 1 in Developmental Plasticity and Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis [PDF]
Infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (CLN1) is a pediatric neurodegenerative disease that affects children and results in death by age 5. Mutations in the neuronal enzyme palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1) cause CLN1.

Palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 modulates tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced apoptosis. [PDF]
International audienceInduction of apoptosis by TNF has recently been shown to implicate proteases from lysosomal origin, the cathepsins. Here, we investigated the role in apoptosis of palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1), another lysosomal enzyme ...
