2.3.1.225

Accepted name:

protein S-acyltransferase

Reaction:

palmitoyl-CoA + [protein]-L-cysteine = [protein]-S-palmitoyl-L-cysteine + CoA

Other name(s):

DHHC palmitoyl transferase; S-protein acyltransferase; G-protein palmitoyltransferase

Systematic name:

palmitoyl-CoA:[protein]-L-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase

Comments:

The enzyme catalyses the posttranslational protein palmitoylation that plays a role in protein-membrane interactions, protein trafficking, and enzyme activity. Palmitoylation increases the hydrophobicity of proteins or protein domains and contributes to their membrane association.
