Summary
Predicted to enable protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including peptidyl-L-cysteine S-palmitoylation; positive regulation by host of viral process; and synaptic vesicle maturation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human ZDHHC20 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 20). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
