Zdhhc16 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable palmitoyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including eye development; fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway involved in forebrain neuron fate commitment; and protein palmitoylation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Orthologous to human ZDHHC16 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 16).

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 Zdhhc16 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
