Abstract excerpt
Lysosomes are essential catabolic organelles responsible for the degradation of biomacromolecules into low-molecular-weight materials for subsequent reuse. Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of fatal neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorders characterized by the intracellular accumulation of lipoprotein aggregates (called ceroid lipofuscin) in neurons and other tissues. Mutations in KCTD7,...
