ZDHHCjäsenet
ZDHHCjäsenet refers to a family of enzymes known as palmitoyltransferases. These enzymes are characterized by a ZDHHC domain, a conserved cysteine-rich region that is essential for their catalytic activity. This domain plays a crucial role in the process of S-palmitoylation, a post-translational modification where a fatty acid, palmitate, is covalently attached to a cysteine residue of a target protein. This modification can occur on both soluble and membrane proteins.
The primary function of ZDHHCjäsenet is to mediate the reversible attachment of palmitate to specific proteins.
Dysregulation of ZDHHCjäsenet activity has been implicated in a variety of cellular processes and diseases. They
