Zdhhc20 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including peptidyl-L-cysteine S-palmitoylation; positive regulation by host of viral process; and synaptic vesicle maturation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human ZDHHC20 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 20). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Zdhhc20 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
