Additional evidence for the potential role of neurotrypsin in synaptic homeostasis comes from a recent study in which it was postulated that synaptic dysfunction found in Cln1−/− mice, a mouse model of infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (INCL), could be due to, at least in part, a novel mechanism that links oxidative stress with suppression of agrin 22 production in INCL disease. The gene discussed is PRSS12; the disease is infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis.
