epitope mapping near the C-terminus of ZDHHC18 of human origin
recommended for detection of ZDHHC18 of mouse, rat and human origin by WB, IP, IF and ELISA; non cross-reactive with other ZDHHC family members ; also reactive with additional species, including equine, canine, bovine and porcine
ZDHHC18 Background Information Zinc-finger proteins contain DNA-binding domains and have a wide variety of functions, most of which encompass some form of transcriptional activation or repression. ZDHHC1 (zinc finger, DHHC-type containing 1), also known as ZNF377 (zinc finger protein 377) or C16orf1, is a 485 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein that contains one DHHC-type zinc finger. Expressed in fetal heart, lung and kidney and also present in adult lung and pancreas, ZDHHC1 functions as a palmitoyltransferase that catalyzes the conversion of palmitoyl-CoA and protein-cysteine to S-palmitoyl protein and CoA. Like ZDHHC1, ZDHHC5, ZDHHC6, ZDHHC7 and ZDHHC18 each contain one DHHC-type zinc finger through which they convey palmitoyltransferase activity against a broad range of substrates, including H-Ras, SNAP 25 and GABAA R proteins.
