Abstract
Post-translational lipid modification by palmitoylation is a reversible process crucial for maintaining cellular functionality. The palmitoyl acyltransferase zinc finger Asp-His-His-Cys motif-containing 5 (ZDHHC5) has garnered significant attention due to its roles in neurodegenerative diseases, oncogenesis, and cardiac function. ZDHHC5 recognizes substrates through diverse mechanisms and its activity is regulated by multiple factors. Highly expressed in the brain, liver and heart, ZDHHC5 exerts regulatory functions in various cellular processes through self-regulation and substrate palmitoylation. This review focuses on the regulatory roles of ZDHHC5 in the nervous system including circadian rhythm, tumor, lipid metabolism. Dysfunctions in ZDHHC5 are associated with several diseases, thereby highlighting its potential as a target for novel therapeutic strategies against neurological, lipid metabolic, and oncogenesis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Lipid Research (JLR) publishes original articles and reviews in the broadly defined area of biological lipids. We encourage the submission of manuscripts relating to lipids, including those addressing problems in biochemistry, molecular biology, structural biology, cell biology, genetics, molecular medicine, clinical medicine and metabolism. Major criteria for acceptance of articles are new insights into mechanisms of lipid function and metabolism and/or genes regulating lipid metabolism along with sound primary experimental data. Interpretation of the data is the authors’ responsibility, and speculation should be labeled as such. Manuscripts that provide new ways of purifying, identifying and quantifying lipids are invited for the Methods section of the Journal. JLR encourages contributions from investigators in all countries, but articles must be submitted in clear and concise English.
