Probable palmitoyltransferase that could catalyze the addition of palmitate onto various protein substrates. hexadecanoyl-CoA + L-cysteinyl-[protein] = CoA + S-hexadecanoyl-L-cysteinyl-[protein] Probably maternally supplied, the zygotic expression becomes significative at 2.75 hpf and remains constant until 24 hpf. The DHHC domain is required for palmitoyltransferase activity. Belongs to the DHHC palmitoyltransferase family.
