NCIt definition : Palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC20 (365 aa, 42 kDa) is encoded by the human ZDHHC20 gene.
This protein is involved in cysteine palmitoylation.;
NCIt note : Palmitoyltransferase ZDHHC20 has preference for acyl-CoA with C16 fatty acid chains
and can also utilize acyl-CoA with C14 and C18 fatty acid chains. ZDHHC20 catalyzes
the transfer of palmitoyl groups to cysteines in proteins including the cytoplasmic
C-terminus of EGFR; this modification modulates EGFR internalization and degradation.
