Palmitoylation of Hedgehog proteins by Hedgehog acyltransferase: roles in signalling and disease
Hedgehog acyltransferase (Hhat), a member of the membrane-bound O-acyltransferase (MBOAT) family, catalyses the covalent attachment of palmitate to the N-terminus of Hedgehog proteins. Palmitoylation is a post-translational modification essential for Hedgehog signalling. This review explores the mec...
