Summary

PPT2 (palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 2, HGNC:9326) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6p21.32, encoding Lysosomal thioesterase PPT2 (Q9UMR5). Catalyzes the cleavage of thioester bonds from S-palmitoyl-CoA or S-palmitoyl-N-acetylcysteamine (unbranched structures) but does not have activity against palmitoylcysteine or palmitoylated proteins, branched structures or bulky head groups.

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 results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the downstream EGFL8 (EGF-like-domain, multiple 8) gene.

Function. Catalyzes the cleavage of thioester bonds from S-palmitoyl-CoA or S-palmitoyl-N-acetylcysteamine (unbranched structures) but does not have activity against palmitoylcysteine or palmitoylated proteins, branched structures or bulky head groups. Conversely, hydrolyzes both long and short chain fatty acyl-CoA substrate. Catalytically inactive due to lack of active site His-283.

Subcellular location. Lysosome.

Tissue specificity. Broadly expressed, with highest levels in skeletal muscle.

Similarity. Belongs to the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase family.
