Palmitoyl-Protein Thioesterase 1/PPT1 Protein(C-6His) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Asp28-Gly306 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Sequence: Asp28-Gly306. Fusion tag: C-6His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 37 kDa. Protein function: Palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 1(PPT-1 for short), also known as Palmitoyl-protein hydrolase 1, belongs to the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase family. It is a small glycoprotein involved in the catabolism of lipid-modified proteins during lysosomal degradation. This enzyme removes thioester-linked fatty acyl groups such as palmitate from modified cysteine residues in proteins or peptides during lysosomal degradation. Defects in PPT1 are the cause of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 1. Protein function: Removes thioester-linked fatty acyl groups such as palmitate from modified cysteine residues in proteins or peptides during lysosomal degradation. Prefers acyl chain lengths of 14 to 18 carbons (PubMed:8816748). [The UniProt Consortium]
