Abstract excerpt
The Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses (NCL) are a group of progressive neurodegenerative disorders, associated with 14 Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Neuronal genes (CLN1-14). The mutations in the Palmitoyl-Protein Thioesterase 1 (PPT1) protein serve as one of the major reasons for the causative of NCL. The PPT1 involves degrading and modifying cysteine residues in proteins or peptides by removing thioester-linked fatty acyl...
