Palmitylacja


Palmistry, palmitate, palmitoylation - lipid modification of proteins, by attaching to the protein molecule palmitic acid residues, through the amino acid residue of cysteine.

Most palmitation occurs by forming a thioester linkage between the cysteine ​​protein residue and the carbonyl carbonyl carbide. It is then called S-palmitation, because the bond is made by the sulfur atom.

Palmitriding can also take place by forming an amide bond between the palmitic acid molecule and the cysteine ​​residue of the protein. Then it is called N-palmitation, because the bond is made by the nitrogen atom.
