Lack of Cathepsin D in the Central Nervous System Results in Microglia and Astrocyte Activation and the Accumulation of Proteinopathy-related Proteins
2021-11-30
Abstract excerpt
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis is one of many neurodegenerative storage diseases characterized by excessive accumulation of lipofuscins. CLN10 disease, an early infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, is associated with a gene that encodes cathepsin D (CtsD), one of the major lysosomal proteases. Whole body CtsD-knockout mice show neurodegenerative phenotypes with the accumulation of lipofuscins in the brain and...
