A mass spectrometry study which identified 219 palmitoylated proteins in a normal human frontal cortex showed significant reductions in the levels of vesicular glutamate transporter 1 (VGLUT1), myelin basic protein (MBP), and Ras family proteins when palmitoylation was assayed and compared in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortices from 16 schizophrenia patients and their pair-matched comparison subjects [265]. Here, MBP is linked to schizophrenia.
