摘要

Palmitoylation is a reversible post-translational lipid modification of proteins, catalyzed by the Zinc finger DHHC domain-containing (ZDHHC) family of palmitoyltransferases. Palmitoylation plays a pivotal role in regulating localization, stability, trafficking, and interactions, thereby contributing to a wide range of cellular processes. Dysregulation of palmitoylation has been implicated in numerous pathological conditions, including metabolic disorders, muscular diseases, mitochondrial disorders, cancer, and neurodegeneration. In this review, we summarize recent advances in understanding S-palmitoylation, emphasizing its critical roles in protein regulation, cellular and physiological processes, and its implications in both health and disease. Additionally, we highlight emerging therapeutic opportunities and novel strategies in therapeutic applications targeting this lipid modification.
