Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations resulting in progranulin (PGRN) haploinsufficiency cause frontotemporal lobar degeneration with TDP-43-positive inclusions (FTLD-TDP), a devastating neurodegenerative disease. PGRN is localized to the lysosome and important for proper lysosome function. However, the metabolism of PGRN in the lysosome is still unclear. RESULTS: Here, we report that PGRN is processed into ~10 kDa peptides...
