Facts about Palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC17.
Palmitoyltransferase specific for a subset of neuronal proteins, including SNAP25, DLG4/PSD95, GAD2, SYT1 and HTT (PubMed:15603740, PubMed:15489887, PubMed:19139280, PubMed:28757145).
May be involved in the sorting or targeting of proteins involved in the initiating events of endocytosis at the plasma membrane (PubMed:12393793).May play a role in Mg(2+) transport (PubMed:18794299). .

Expressed in all brain regions. Expression is highest in the cortex, cerebellum, occipital lobe and caudate and lowest in the spinal cord. Expression is also seen in testis, pancreas, heart and kidney.
Golgi apparatus membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction, synapse, presynaptic cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Low extracellular Mg(2+) induces increase in Golgi and in post-Golgi membrane vesicles.
