In enzymology, a glycoprotein N-palmitoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.96) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

palmitoyl-CoA + glycoprotein [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] CoA + N-palmitoylglycoprotein

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are palmitoyl-CoA and glycoprotein, whereas its two products are CoA and N-palmitoylglycoprotein.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is palmitoyl-CoA:glycoprotein N-palmitoyltransferase. This enzyme is also called mucus glycoprotein fatty acyltransferase. This enzyme participates in aminosugars metabolism. This enzyme has at least one effector, Dithiothreitol.
