Other Information

**Key Characteristics** ZDHHC2 is a member of the DHHC (DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase) family of enzymes, which are involved in the post-translational modification of proteins. The enzyme is characterized by its ability to palmitoylate cysteine residues on target proteins, which allows them to interact with membranes and other cellular components. ZDHHC2 is specifically expressed in various cell types, including hematopoietic cells, epithelial cells, and neuronal cells. **Pathways and Functions** ZDHHC2 is involved in several cellular pathways, including: 1. **Glutamatergic Synapse**: ZDHHC2 regulates the clustering of AMPA glutamate receptors, which is essential for synaptic plasticity and learning. 2. **Infectious Disease**: ZDHHC2 is involved in the regulation of viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2, by palmitoylating proteins that interact with viral receptors. 3. **Metabolism of Proteins**: ZDHHC2 regulates the palmitoylation of proteins involved in protein degradation and recycling. 4. **Cell-Cell Adhesion**: ZDHHC2 regulates the palmitoylation of proteins involved in cell-cell adhesion, which is essential for maintaining tissue structure and function. **Clinical Significance** ZDHHC2 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer**: Reduced expression of ZDHHC2 has been associated with metastasis, suggesting that this enzyme may play a role in regulating cancer cell migration and invasion. 2. **Neurological Disorders**: ZDHHC2 has been implicated in neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, where dysregulation of synaptic plasticity and protein palmitoylation may contribute to disease pathogenesis. 3. **Viral Infections**: ZDHHC2 may play a role in regulating viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2, by palmitoylating proteins that interact with viral receptors. In conclusion, ZDHHC2 is a critical enzyme involved in various cellular pathways, including glutamatergic synapse, infectious disease, and protein metabolism. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, and viral infections, highlighting the importance of this enzyme in maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating cellular processes.
