PPT1 and infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis: Furthermore, we showed that PPT1 depalmitoylates GFAP, and the level of palmitoylated GFAP is overwhelmingly up-regulated in PPT1-knockin mice, which lead us to speculate that the elevated level of palmitoylated GFAP might accelerate astrocyte proliferation in vivo and ultimately led to astrogliosis in INCL.
