In [[enzymology]], a '''glycoprotein N-palmitoyltransferase''' ({{EC number|2.3.1.96}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:palmitoyl-CoA + glycoprotein <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> CoA + N-palmitoylglycoprotein

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[palmitoyl-CoA]] and [[glycoprotein]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[coenzyme A|CoA]] and [[N-palmitoylglycoprotein]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[transferase]]s, specifically those [[acyltransferase]]s 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 (biology)|effector]], [[Dithiothreitol]].
