Structure of the human palmitoyl-protein thioesterase-2 gene (PPT2) in the major histocompatibility complex on chromosome 6p21.3.

Genomics - 1 Mar 1999

Soyombo A A, Yi W, Hofmann S L

Abstract excerpt

Palmitoyl-protein thioesterase-2 (PPT2) is a homolog of PPT1, the enzyme that is deficient in the lysosomal storage disorder, infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL). As a first step toward determining whether mutations in the gene encoding PPT2 (PPT2) are associated with any of the molecularly uncharacterized forms of NCL, we report here the structure and chromosomal localization of human PPT2. PPT2 spans...
