Identification
HMDB Protein ID CDBP05573
Secondary Accession Numbers Not Available
Name Palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC21
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. Zinc finger DHHC domain-containing protein 21
  2. DHHC-21
Gene Name ZDHHC21
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Palmitoylates sex steroid hormone receptors, including ESR1, PGR and AR, thereby regulating their targeting to the plasma membrane. This affects rapid intracellular signaling by sex hormones via ERK and AKT kinases and the generation of cAMP, but does not affect that mediated by their nuclear receptor (By similarity).
