Difference between Palmitoylation and Post-translational modification

Palmitoylation vs. Post-translational modification

Palmitoylation is the covalent attachment of fatty acids, such as palmitic acid, to cysteine and less frequently to serine and threonine residues of proteins, which are typically membrane proteins. Post-translational modification (PTM) refers to the covalent and generally enzymatic modification of proteins following protein biosynthesis.

Similarities between Palmitoylation and Post-translational modification

Palmitoylation and Post-translational modification have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acylation, Cysteine, Enzyme, Myristoylation, Palmitic acid, Prenylation, Serine, Thioester, Threonine.

Acylation

In chemistry, acylation (rarely, but more formally: alkanoylation) is the process of adding an acyl group to a compound.
