Ppt1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables palmitoyl-(protein) hydrolase activity and phospholipase A2 inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including grooming behavior; protein depalmitoylation; and visual perception. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; lysosome; and neuronal cell body. Is active in presynaptic cytosol and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 1 and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 3. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 1. Orthologous to human PPT1 (palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ppt1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
