CLN6 is a glycerophosphoglycerol epimerase in bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate biosynthesis
Lysosomal catabolism depends on bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP), a phospholipid with atypical S,S stereochemistry of unknown biosynthetic origin. CLN8 and CLN5 catalyze sequential acylation steps in BMP synthesis, and their loss of function causes Batten disease, a group of inherited neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorders. Here we identify CLN6, a biochemically uncharacterized…
