Zdhhc15 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of dendrite development; protein localization to postsynapse; and regulation of dendritic spine morphogenesis. Located in Golgi membrane and postsynapse. Orthologous to human ZDHHC15 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 15). [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 rat Zdhhc15 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
