Enables palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in peptidyl-L-cysteine S-palmitoylation. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Forensic Context

A study in zebrafish and mouse demonstrated that the ZDHHC14 transcript, a palmitoyltransferase categorized as a cancer-related gene, exhibited increased abundance within the postmortem transcriptome [Pozhitkov et al. DOI:10.1098/rsob.160267].
