Enables palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in peptidyl-L-cysteine S-palmitoylation and protein localization to plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within protein palmitoylation. Located in plasma membrane; postsynaptic recycling endosome; and recycling endosome membrane. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; nervous system; pancreas tip epithelium; and retina. Orthologous to human ZDHHC2 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
