Primary Identifier | MGI:1918046 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 70796 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including antiviral innate immune response; positive regulation of defense response to virus by host; and positive regulation of protein oligomerization. Located in endosome membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and lung. Orthologous to human ZDHHC1 (zinc finger DHHC-type containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit lower serum cytokine levels after herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) infection and are more sensitive to HSV-1-induced death.
