Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionppt-1 encodes the C. elegans palmitoyl protein thioesterase-1 ortholog; by homology PPT-1 is predicted to function in degradation of palmitoylated proteins and ppt-1 mutations result in loss of enzymatic activity from mixed-stage extracts; in C. elegans, ppt-1 activity is essential for mitochondrial organization and biogenesis in neuronal and muscle cells, as well as for proper timing of the onset of both the L4-to-adult molt and egg laying; ppt-1 is also required for normal egg-laying behavior and for a fully normal adultPaper_evidenceWBPaper00025120

Automated_descriptionEnables 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).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Remark[Sara E Mole] Three C. elegans genes are equally similar to the human gene CLN3 which causes juvenile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) or Batten disease. There is at least one similar gene in over 20 eukaryotic species, including S. cerevisiae, S.pombe, D. melanogaster. No other completely sequenced genome has more than one CLN3 homologue. All three cln-3 genes in C. elegans are trancribed and accession numbers have been applied for. In human there are up to 8 NCL genes named CLN-8. CLN1 also has one homologue in C. elegans. CLN1 encodes the enzyme palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
