Hhat Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in N-terminal peptidyl-L-cysteine N-palmitoylation. Acts upstream of or within protein palmitoylation and smoothened signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in branchial arch; embryo; embryo ectoderm; and limb. Used to study chondrodysplasia-pseudohermaphroditism syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chondrodysplasia-pseudohermaphroditism syndrome. Orthologous to human HHAT (hedgehog acyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Hhat often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
