Comments
Comment typeDescription
Developmental StageLow level expression is detected in embryonic development with no distinct tissue specific enrichment. Expression levels increase at third larval instar stage and continue through to adulthood. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18719403}.
FunctionProbable thioesterase removing fatty acyl groups from various substrates such as S-palmitoyl-CoA. Because of structural constraints, may be unable to remove palmitate from peptides or proteins (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Sequence CautionSequence=AAL28270.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
SimilarityBelongs to the palmitoyl-protein thioesterase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationLysosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18719403}.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in adult head and crop. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18719403}.
