Loss of PREPL alters lipid homeostasis due to mitochondrial defects
2025-10-28
Abstract excerpt
Loss of the prolyl endopeptidase-like (PREPL) protein causes congenital myasthenic syndrome-22 (CMS22), a rare neuromuscular and metabolic disorder. PREPL belongs to the serine hydrolase superfamily, but its physiological substrates remain unknown. Based on the predicted lipid binding pocket in its crystal structure and its in vitro esterase activity, we hypothesized that PREPL might act as a lipase in vivo and...
