HHAT (hedgehog acyltransferase) also known as HHAT and Skinny Hedgehog homology in humans, is a human gene.
The HHAT gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes N-terminal palmitoylation of sonic hedgehog. Mutations in HHAT produce a phenotype that is similar to loss of hedgehog function. Finally the HHAT protein shares a short but significant sequence similarity to membrane-bound O-acyltransferases.
