Enables palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in positive regulation of pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of protein localization to phagocytic vesicle; and positive regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within protein palmitoylation. Located in dendrite; phagocytic vesicle; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in early conceptus; eye; heart; oocyte; and trunk somite. Orthologous to human ZDHHC5 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
