depalmitoylate

verb

Etymology: From de- + palmitoylate.

1. To carry out depalmitoylation upon.

   “The fact that PPT1, which is a depalmitoylating enzyme, is itself regulated by palmitoylation may suggest the existence of a positive feedback loop; when PPT1 is palmitoylated, its enzymatic activity will decrease, thus leading to a higher level of palmitoylated proteins.”
