Post-translational modification by the lipid palmitate is crucial for the correct targeting and function of many proteins. Polyglutamine expansions of huntingtin protein are responsible for the Huntington neurological disorder. ZDHHC17 gene encodes palmitoyl transferase huntingtin interacting protein (HIP14) which regulates palmitoylation and distribution of hungtingtin. The latter is implicated in the formation of inclusion bodies and enhanced neuronal toxicity. HIP14 was also shown to control neurotransmitter release.
