A facile assay for zDHHC palmitoyl transferase activation elucidates effects of mutation and modification [PDF]
At least 10% of proteins constituting the human proteome are subject to S-acylation by a long-chain fatty acid, thioesterified to a Cys thiol side chain.

Diverse Roles of Protein Palmitoylation in Cancer Progression, Immunity, Stemness, and Beyond [PDF]
Protein S-palmitoylation, a type of post-translational modification, refers to the reversible process of attachment of a fatty acyl chain—a 16-carbon palmitate acid—to the specific cysteine residues on target proteins.

Substrate recruitment by zDHHC protein acyltransferases [PDF]
Protein palmitoylation is the post-translational attachment of fatty acids, most commonly palmitate (C16 : 0), onto a cysteine residue of a protein. This reaction is catalysed by a family of integral membrane proteins, the zDHHC protein acyltransferases (

Bioinformatics Analysis of the Prognostic and Biological Significance of ZDHHC-Protein Acyltransferases in Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
ZDHHC-protein acyltransferases (ZDHHCs) are a family of 23 signature Asp-His-His-Cys (DHHC) domain-containing enzymes that mediate palmitoylation by covalent attachment of the 16-carbon fatty acid palmitate to thiol groups of specific cysteine residues ...

ZDHHC15 promotes glioma malignancy and acts as a novel prognostic biomarker for patients with glioma
Background Glioma is the most common and aggressive tumor in the adult brain. Recent studies have indicated that Zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferases (ZDHHCs) play vital roles in regulating the progression of glioma.
