Abstract excerpt
S-palmitoylation is a reversible posttranslational modification in which a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid (generally palmitate) is attached to specific cysteine residues in polypeptides via thioester linkage. Dynamic S-palmitoylation (palmitoylation-depalmitoylation), like phosphorylation-dephosphorylation, regulates the function of numerous proteins, especially in the brain. While a family of 23 palmitoyl-acyl...
