Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of establishment of endothelial barrier; regulation of leukocyte adhesion to arterial endothelial cell; and regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle contraction. Acts upstream of or within hair follicle development and sebaceous gland development. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in early conceptus; eye; inner cell mass; oocyte; and trunk somite. Orthologous to human ZDHHC21 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 21).
