Zdhhc7 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in glucose import in response to insulin stimulus; peptidyl-L-cysteine S-palmitoylation; and regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in central nervous system; early conceptus; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human ZDHHC7 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 7).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Zdhhc7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
