Summary: Enables G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding activity and palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of pheromone-dependent signal transduction involved in conjugation with cellular fusion; protein palmitoylation; and protein targeting to membrane. Located in Golgi apparatus. Orthologous to human ZDHHC17 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 17). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

NP_010550.1

Palmitoyl transferase involved in protein palmitoylation; acts as a negative regulator of pheromone response pathway; required for endocytosis of pheromone receptors; involved in cell shape control; contains ankyrin repeats; AKR1 has a paralog, AKR2, that arose from the whole genome duplication; any of several human homologs encoding DHHC-type zinc fingers (ZDHHC) can complement temperature sensitivity of yeast akr1 null mutant
