CLN3P, the Batten's disease protein, is a novel palmitoyl‐protein Δ‐9 desaturase

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Batten's disease, one of the most common recessively inherited, untreatable, neurodegenerative diseases of humans, is characterized by progressive neuronal loss and intraneuronal proteolipid storage. Although the gene for the disorder was cloned more than a decade ago, the function of the encoded protein, CLN3P, has not been defined thus far. METHODS: Sequence analysis using the Pfam server identified...
