Zdhhc12 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including gephyrin clustering involved in postsynaptic density assembly; negative regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome complex assembly; and peptidyl-L-cysteine S-palmitoylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus; dendritic spine; and endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human ZDHHC12 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 12). [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 Zdhhc12 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
