Catalysis of the transfer of an acyl group, other than amino-acyl, from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor). Catalysis of the transfer of a palmitoyl group to an oxygen atom on the acceptor molecule. Catalysis of the transfer of a palmitoyl group to a nitrogen atom on the acceptor molecule. Catalysis of the reaction: palmitoyl-CoA + protein-cysteine = S-palmitoyl protein + CoA, specific for Ras proteins. Catalysis of the transfer of a palmitoyl (CH3-[CH2]14-CO-) group to an acceptor molecule. Catalysis of the transfer of a palmitoyl group to a carbon atom on the acceptor molecule. Catalysis of the transfer of a palmitoleyl group to a sulfur atom on the cysteine of a protein molecule. Catalysis of the generalized reaction: acyl-carrier + reactant = acyl-reactant + carrier.
