Abstract excerpt
One late infantile variant of the neurodegenerative disease neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) is caused by a mutation in the CLN5 gene. CLN5 encodes a lysosomal glycoprotein whose structure and function have not yet been clearly defined. In the present study, we used epitope-tagged CLN5 to determine the topology and solubility of the CLN5 protein. Our results indicated that CLN5 is synthesized as a type II...
