Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables palmitoyltransferase activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in axonogenesis; regulation of modification of synapse structure, modulating synaptic transmission; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; perforant pathway to dendrate granule cell synapse; and postsynaptic Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; heart; and oocyte. Used to study Huntington's disease. Orthologous to human ZDHHC17 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 17).
