Zdhhc17/Hip14 functions in neurons to control behavior via DHHC-dependent and independent mechanisms

To navigate a complex sensory environment, animals filter out inconsequential sensory inputs and habituate to familiar stimuli. By establishing innate response thresholds and modifying them through habituation, animals can focus on key sensory stimuli while ignoring irrelevant ones. Huntingtin-interacting protein 14 (Hip14), also known as zDHHC17, is a palmitoyl acyltransferase (PAT) that…
