UniProt ID Q9H237
Protein name Protein-serine O-palmitoleoyltransferase porcupine (EC 2.3.1.250) (Protein MG61)
Protein function Protein-serine O-palmitoleoyltransferase that acts as a key regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway by mediating the attachment of palmitoleate, a 16-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid (C16:1(9Z)), to Wnt proteins. Serine palmitoleoylation of WNT
