HHAT

Hedgehog acyltransferase (HHAT), also called skinny hedgehog homology in humans, is a human gene.

[1][2] The HHAT gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes N-terminal palmitoylation of sonic hedgehog.

Mutations in HHAT produce a phenotype that is similar to loss of hedgehog function.

Finally the HHAT protein shares a short but significant sequence similarity to membrane-bound O-acyltransferases.
