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 the 512-cell stage and increases until 10 hpf and then decreases but is still detected at 24 hpf. The DHHC domain is required for palmitoyltransferase activity. Belongs to the DHHC palmitoyltransferase family. ERF2/ZDHHC9 subfamily. Truncated N-terminus.
