Caenorhabditis elegans Enables palmitoyl-(protein) hydrolase activity. Involved in several processes, including egg-laying behavior; mitochondrion organization; and protein catabolic process. Predicted to be located in lysosome. Used to study neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 1. Is an ortholog of human PPT1 (palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1).
