Zdhhc23 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein localization to plasma membrane and protein targeting to membrane. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein palmitoylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human ZDHHC23 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 23). [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 Zdhhc23 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
