Zdhhc5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane neurotransmitter receptor levels. Located in dendrite. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic specialization, intracellular component. Orthologous to human ZDHHC5 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 5).

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 Zdhhc5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
