Description
Product Characteristics: protein-cysteine N-palmitoyltransferase that modulates the processing of Wnt proteins by mediating serine palmitoylation of Wnt family members.
Target Information: This gene belongs to the evolutionarily conserved porcupine (Porc) gene family. Genes of the Porc family encode endoplasmic reticulum proteins with multiple transmembrane domains. Porcupine proteins are involved in the processing of Wnt (wingless and int homologue) proteins. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.
