ZDHHC8 - zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 8 Gene
Also Known as DHHC8; ZNF378; ZDHHCL1
Species: Homo sapiens
About ZDHHC8
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 263 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Ubiquitous expression in fat (RPKM 6.8), spleen (RPKM 6.7) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
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]
