Gene information for TPP1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1200
Official gene symbolTPP1
Full nametripeptidyl peptidase I
Aliases,CLN2,GIG1,LPIC,MGC21297,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the sedolisin family of serine proteases. The protease functions in the lysosome to cleave N-terminal tripeptides from substrates, and has weaker endopeptidase activity. It is synthesized as a catalytically-inactive enzyme which is activated and auto-proteolyzed upon acidification. Mutations in this gene result in late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, which is associated with the failure to degrade specific neuropeptides and a subunit of ATP synthase in the lysosome.
