Background
This gene encodes a member of the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase family. The encoded glycosylated lysosomal protein has palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity in vitro, but does not hydrolyze palmitate from cysteine residues in proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the downstream EGFL8 (EGF-like-domain, multiple 8) gene.

Function
caution:Was originally (PubMed:9341199) referred as a palmitoyl-protein thioesterase (palmitoyl-protein hydrolase).,function:Removes thioester-linked fatty acyl groups from various substrates including S-palmitoyl-CoA. Has the highest S-thioesterase activity for the acyl groups palmitic and myristic acid followed by other short- and long-chain acyl substrates. However, because of structural constraints, is unable to remove palmitate from peptides or proteins.,similarity:Belongs to the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase family.,tissue specificity:Broadly expressed, with highest levels in skeletal muscle.,
