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 4 hpf. The DHHC domain is required for palmitoyltransferase activity. Belongs to the DHHC palmitoyltransferase family. ERF2/ZDHHC9 subfamily.
