Uniprot Id

Q8IUH5

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ZDHHC17

Target Full Name

Palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC17

Target Function

Palmitoyltransferase that catalyzes the addition of palmitate onto various protein substrates and is involved in a variety of cellular processes. Has no stringent fatty acid selectivity and in addition to palmitate can also transfer onto target proteins myristate from tetradecanoyl-CoA and stearate from octadecanoyl-CoA. Palmitoyltransferase specific for a subset of neuronal proteins, including SNAP25, DLG4/PSD95, GAD2, SYT1 and HTT. Also palmitoylates neuronal protein GPM6A as well as SPRED1 and SPRED3. Could also play a role in axonogenesis through the regulation of NTRK1 and the downstream ERK1/ERK2 signaling cascade. May be involved in the sorting or targeting of critical proteins involved in the initiating events of endocytosis at the plasma membrane. May play a role in Mg(2+) transport. Could also palmitoylate DNAJC5 and regulate its localization to the Golgi membrane.

Target Subcellular Location

Golgi apparatus membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction, synapse, presynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

DHHC palmitoyltransferase family, AKR/ZDHHC17 subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in all brain regions. Expression is highest in the cortex, cerebellum, occipital lobe and caudate and lowest in the spinal cord. Expression is also seen in testis, pancreas, heart and kidney.
