Rabbit Anti-ZDHHC2/ZNF372/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
ZDHHC2 is a 367 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein that contains one DHHSLCtype zinc finger. The ubiquitously expressed ZDHHC2 protein functions as a palmitoyltransferase that uses palmitoyl-CoA and catalyzes the conversion of target proteins, namely GAP-43 and PSD-95, to S-palmitoyl proteins. Defects in the gene encoding ZDHHC2 are found in colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, suggesting a role for ZDHHC2 in tumorigenesis. The gene encoding human ZDHHC2 maps to chromosome 8, which consists of nearly 146 million base pairs, houses more than 800 genes and is associated with a variety of diseases and malignancies.
Function:
Palmitoyltransferase specific for GAP43 and DLG4/PSD95.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitously expressed. Reduced expression in colorectal cancers with liver metastasis.
DISEASE:
Note=Mutations in ZDHHC2 are found in hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal cancer.
Similarity:
Belongs to the DHHC palmitoyltransferase family.
Contains 1 DHHSLCtype zinc finger.
