General annotation (Comments)

Function

Removes thioester-linked fatty acyl groups such as palmitate from modified cysteine residues in proteins or peptides during lysosomal degradation. Prefers acyl chain lengths of 14 to 18 carbons.

Catalytic activity

Palmitoyl-protein + H2O = palmitate + protein.

Subcellular location

Lysosome.

Involvement in disease

Defects in PPT1 are the cause of infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 1 (CLN1) [MIM:256730]; also called infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL). The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis are a group of progressive neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the intracellular accumulation of autofluorescent lipopigment storage material in different patterns ultrastructurally. The lipopigment pattern seen most often in CLN1 is referred to as granular osmiophilic deposits (GROD). There is a core group of four major clinical forms, the infantile, the late-infantile, the juvenile, and the adult forms. The infantile forms are characterized by progressive visual impairment, seizure, motor disturbances, dementia and premature death (8-11 years of age). Ref.1 Ref.9 Ref.10

Defects in PPT1 are a cause of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 4 (CLN4) [MIM:204300]; also known as adult type neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) or Kufs disease. Ref.11

Belongs to the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase family.
