| Primary Identifier | MGI:1923215 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 75965 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including peptidyl-L-cysteine S-palmitoylation; positive regulation by host of viral process; and synaptic vesicle maturation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in early conceptus; inner cell mass; and oocyte. Orthologous to human ZDHHC20 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 20). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display no obvious abnormalities. In the context of a pancreatic tumor model, metastatic potential is reduced in conditional null mice. [provided by MGI curators] |
