Tripeptidyl-peptidase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the TPP1 gene.[1][2]

Genomics

Molecular biology

This 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 autoproteolyzed upon acidification.[2]

Clinical

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.
