Background
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the DHHC palmitoyltransferase family. Mutations in this gene are associated with mental retardatio X-linked type 91 (MRX91). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009],
Function
catalytic activity:Palmitoyl-CoA + protein-cysteine = S-palmitoyl protein + CoA.,disease:Defects in ZDHHC15 are the cause of mental retardation X-linked type 91 (MRX91) [MIM:300577]. Mental retardation is characterized by significantly sub-average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptative behavior and manifested during the developmental period. Non-syndromic mental retardation patients do not manifest other clinical signs.,domain:The DHHC domain is required for palmitoyltransferase activity.,function:Palmitoyltransferase specific for GAP43 and DLG4/PSD95.,PTM:Autopalmitoylated.,similarity:Belongs to the DHHC palmitoyltransferase family.,similarity:Contains 1 DHHC-type zinc finger.,tissue specificity:Expressed in placenta, liver, lung, kidney, heart and brain.,
