Glycoprotein N-palmitoyltransferase
- Glycoprotein N-palmitoyltransferase
In enzymology, a glycoprotein N-palmitoyltransferase (EC number|2.3.1.96) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
:palmitoyl-CoA + glycoprotein CoA + N-palmitoylglycoprotein
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are palmitoyl-CoA and glycoprotein, whereas its two products are CoA and N-palmitoylglycoprotein.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is palmitoyl-CoA:glycoprotein N-palmitoyltransferase. This enzyme is also called mucus glycoprotein fatty acyltransferase. This enzyme participates in aminosugars metabolism. This enzyme has at least one effector, Dithiothreitol.
