ZDHHC8 - zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 8 Gene

Also Known as DHHC8; ZNF378; ZDHHCL1

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 29801

About ZDHHC8

Cytogenetic location: 22q11.21 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 22:20,131,804-20,148,007 (from NCBI)

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]
