Abstract excerpt
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are a group of diseases characterized by accumulation of hydrophobic proteins in lysosomes of neurons and other types of cells. NCLs are caused by at least 8 mutant genes (CLN1-CLN8), though CLN4 and CLN7 have not yet been identified. Except for Cln1p, the protein encoded by CLN1, the defective proteins are associated with lysosomal accumulation of mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit...
