Palmitoyltransferase that catalyzes the addition of palmitate onto various protein substrates and therefore functions in several unrelated biological processes (By similarity). Regulates tissue growth possibly by regulating Ras64B protein stability (PubMed:30735487). May regulate CG34450 mRNA levels (PubMed:30735487). hexadecanoyl-CoA + L-cysteinyl-[protein] = CoA + S-hexadecanoyl-L-cysteinyl-[protein] The DHHC domain is required for palmitoyltransferase activity. Lethal at larval stage (PubMed:30735487). RNAi-mediated knockdown results in extra vein material (PubMed:30735487). RNAi-mediated knockdown in the wing results in tissue overgrowth due to enhanced cell proliferation (PubMed:30735487). Belongs to the DHHC palmitoyltransferase family. ERF2/ZDHHC9 subfamily.
