Background Descriptions | PPT2 (palmitoyl-protein thioesterase 2), also known as G14, is a 302 amino acid glycosylated protein that localizes to the lysosome and belongs to the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase family. Expressed throughout the body with highest levels in skeletal muscle, PPT2 functions to remove thioester-linked fatty acyl groups from a variety of substrates, including S-palmitoyl-CoA, thereby playing an important role in lipid metabolism. PPT2 operates at an optimal pH of 7 and exhibits the highest activity for the acyl groups on myristic and palmitic acids, with lower levels of activity toward other short- and long-chain acyl substrates. PPT2 exists as two isoforms, one of which is expressed at low levels and is catalytically inactive. |

Name | PPT2 (HGNC:9326) |
---|---|
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. |
Cellular Location | Lysosome. |
Tissue Location | Broadly expressed, with highest levels in skeletal muscle. |
