Primary Identifier | MGI:2682948 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 245308 |
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. Predicted to be involved in peptidyl-L-cysteine S-palmitoylation; positive regulation of aggrephagy; and protein targeting to membrane. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane and perinucleolar compartment. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human ZDHHC19 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 19). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutations of this gene result in male infertility associated with abnormal sperm head and flagellum morphology and asthenozoospermia. [provided by MGI curators] |
