Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)
Enables protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in positive regulation of smoothened signaling pathway and protein maturation. Acts upstream of or within protein palmitoylation and smoothened signaling pathway. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in branchial arch; embryo ectoderm; and limb. Used to study chondrodysplasia-pseudohermaphroditism syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chondrodysplasia-pseudohermaphroditism syndrome. Orthologous to human HHAT (hedgehog acyltransferase).
