Enables palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in animal organ development; cellular response to DNA damage stimulus; and protein palmitoylation. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in early conceptus; eye; genitourinary system; heart; and trunk somite. Orthologous to human ZDHHC16 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 16).
