UniProtKB description: Palmitoyl thioesterase specifically expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum of neurons. Modulates the trafficking of the glutamate receptor, AMPAR, to plasma membrane through depalmitoylation of GRIA1 (PubMed:30135643). Also regulates AMPR trafficking through the regulation of SACM1L phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphatase activity by interaction in a malonyl-CoA dependent manner (By similarity). Binds malonyl-CoA and couples malonyl-CoA to ceramide levels, necessary for proper spine maturation and contributing to systemic energy homeostasis and appetite control (PubMed:16651524). Binds to palmitoyl-CoA, but does not have carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 catalytic activity or at very low levels (PubMed:25751282, PubMed:30135643).
