Gene: PPT2 (palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 2) Homo sapiens

Symbol:

PPT2

Name:

palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 2

Description:

This gene encodes a member of the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase family. The encoded glycosylated lysosomal protein has palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity in vitro, but does not hydrolyze palmitate from cysteine residues in proteins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the downstream EGFL8 (EGF-like-domain, multiple 8) gene.
