Abstract excerpt
Protein palmitoylation represents an important mechanism governing the dynamic subcellular localization of many signaling proteins. Palmitoylation of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) promotes its targeting to plasmalemmal caveolae; agonist-promoted depalmitoylation leads to eNOS translocation. Depalmitoylation and translocation of eNOS modulate the agonist response, but the pathways that regulate eNOS...
