| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein homodimerization activity and protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including peptidyl-L-cysteine S-palmitoylation; positive regulation of GABAergic synaptic transmission; and positive regulation of receptor localization to synapse. Acts upstream of or within protein targeting. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and ileum. Orthologous to human ZDHHC3 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit decreased male body weight and reduced palmitoylation of the gamma2 subunit of GABA type A receptors and of GAP-43 in brain. Primary cultured neurons show reduced accumulation of GABAARs at synapses and receptor-dependent presynaptic innervation. [provided by MGI curators] |
