Palmitoylation of estrogen receptors promotes their interaction with caveolin (CAV), which is required for their translocation to the plasma membrane where they function in rapid, transcription-independent signaling (Chambliss et al, 2002; Razandi et al, 2003; Acconcia et al, 2004; Pedram et al, 2007; Razandi et al, 2010; Pedram et al, 2012; reviewed in Schwartz et al, 2016). Approximately 5-15% of total cellular estrogen receptor is at the plasma membrane where it is enriched in caveolae (Pedram et al, 2006; Marino et al, 2006).
