SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular

text	with ZDHHC17, co-localized to the Golgi and the same post-Golgi vesicles, suggesting that heteropalmitoylation might play a physiological role in addition to a biochemical function

basic FUNCTION	putative transcription factor playing a role in the membrane protein trafficking
	DHHC family palmitoyl acyltransferase that is implicated in palmitoylation and regulated trafficking of diverse substrates that function either at inhibitory or excitatory synapses
	mediating palmitoylation of GABA(A) receptors and possibly other substrates contributes selectively to the formation and normal function of GABAergic inhibitory synapses
	with ZDHHC2, are differentially regulated and dynamic recruitment of protein palmitoylation machinery enables compartmentalized regulation of protein trafficking in response to extracellular signals
	mediates the palmitoylation and post-translational modification of many protein substrates that regulate membrane-protein interactions
	encodes a Ca(2+) transport protein in addition to its ability to palmitoylate protein substrates
	co-expression of DHHC acyltransferases (DHHC3 or DHHC7), but not their acyltransferase-inactive mutants, increased expression levels of RGS4
	may potentially undergo some post-translational modification following its exit from the ER
	DHHC3 localized to ER membranes is an active palmitoyltransferase

protein	involved in the palmitoylation of SNAP25
	palmitoylation by DHHC3 is critical for the function, expression, and stability of integrin alpha6/beta4
	ZDHHC3 and ZDHHC8, also interacted with the DRD2 and each of the palmitoyl acyltransferase (PAT) was capable of affecting the palmitoylation status of the DRD2
	ZDHHC3 promotes breast tumor growth, by a mechanism involving palmitoylation of key substrate proteins such as ERGIC3
	Cys141 and Cys498 AAs on ACE2 are S-palmitoylated by ZDHHC3 and de-palmitoylated by LYPLA1, which is critical for the membrane-targeting of ACE2 and their extracellular vesicles (EVs) secretion to interacts with the viral spike (S) protein of the SARS-CoV-2
