Background
This gene encodes a four transmembrane protein that is a member of the zinc finger DHHC domain-containing protein family. The encoded protein may function as a palmitoyltransferase. Defects in this gene may be associated with a susceptibility to schizophrenia. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 22.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010],
Function
catalytic activity:Palmitoyl-CoA + protein-cysteine = S-palmitoyl protein + CoA.,disease:According to PubMed:15489219 and PubMed:15184899, defects in ZDHHC8 may contribute to susceptibility to schizophrenia, but according to PubMed:15992527, PubMed:15631889 and PubMed:16150541, it is not the case.,domain:The DHHC domain is required for palmitoyltransferase activity.,function:Putative palmitoyltransferase involved in glutamatergic transmission.,similarity:Belongs to the DHHC palmitoyltransferase family. ERF2/ZDHHC9 subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 DHHC-type zinc finger.,
