Summary

Predicted to enable protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in protein localization to plasma membrane and protein palmitoylation. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Forensic Context

A study in mice demonstrated that the ZDHHC23 was selected from a microarray analysis of heart tissue following methamphetamine administration and restraint, but its mRNA expression change was not statistically significant upon validation by quantitative RT-PCR [Shinone et al. DOI:10.1016/J.Legalmed.2010.01.001].
