epitope mapping near the C-terminus of ZDHHC4 of human origin
recommended for detection of ZDHHC4 of mouse, rat and human origin by WB, IF and ELISA; non cross-reactive with other ZDHHC family members; also reactive with additional species, including equine and bovine
ZDHHC4 Background Information Zinc-finger proteins contain DNA-binding domains and have a wide variety of functions, most of which encompass some form of transcriptional activation or repression. ZDHHC4 (zinc finger, DHHC domain containing 4), also known as ZNF374, is a 344 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein that contains one DHHC-type zinc finger and is thought to function as a palmitoyltransferase, catalyzing the transformation of palmitoyl-CoA and a cysteine-conjugated protein to a S-palmitoyl protein and free CoA. The gene encoding ZDHHC4 maps to human chromosome 7, which houses over 1,000 genes and comprises nearly 5% of the human genome. Defects in some of the genes localized to chromosome 7 have been linked to Osteogenesis imperfecta, Williams-Beuren syndrome, Pendred syndrome, Lissencephaly, Citrullinemia and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome.
