Entrez ID 9374
Gene name Palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 2
Gene symbol PPT2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
C6orf8G14PPT-2
Chromosome 6
Chromosome location 6p21.32
Summary This gene encodes a member of the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase family. The encoded glycosylated lysosomal protein has palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity in vitro, but does not hydrolyze palmitate from cysteine residues in proteins. Alternative splicing re
