palmitoyl protein thioesterase 2; palmitoyl-protein hydrolase 2 (PPT2, G14)
Function:
- removes thioester-linked fatty acyl groups from various substrates including S-palmitoyl-CoA
- highest S-thioesterase activity for the acyl groups palmitic & myristic acid followed by other short- & long-chain acyl substrates
- prefers acyl chain lengths of 14-18 carbons
- however, because of structural constraints, is unable to remove palmitate from peptides or proteins
Kinetic parameters:
- KM=67 uM for S-palmitoyl-CoA
- KM=37 uM for S-palmitoyl-N-acetylcysteamine
- Vmax=1.7 umol/min/mg enzyme toward S-palmitoyl-CoA
- Vmax=3.3 umol/min/mg enzyme toward S-palmitoyl-N-acetyl- cysteamine
- ptimum pH is 7.0
Structure: belongs to the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase family
Compartment: lysosome
Alternative splicing: named isoforms=2
isoform(s) may be catalytically inactive due to lack of His-283, or may be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay
Expression:
- broadly expressed, with highest levels in skeletal muscle
