Molecular assay reagents intended to identify mutations in the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1) gene, located at chromosome 1p32, which encodes for a glycoprotein that removes palmitate groups from cysteine residues in lipid-modified proteins. This genetic mutation has been identified in patients with neuronal ceroid-lipofuscinosis (CLN).
