PPT2 - palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 2 Gene
Also Known as G14; PPT-2; C6orf8
Species: Homo sapiens
About PPT2
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 282 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in ovary (RPKM 15.5), placenta (RPKM 11.9) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
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.
