Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 72881 |
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 positive regulation of innate immune response; protein localization to plasma membrane; and protein targeting to membrane. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in early conceptus; inner cell mass; oocyte; and pancreas tip epithelium. Orthologous to human ZDHHC4 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit impaired fatty acid uptake and impaired adaptive thermogenesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
