Transfers a palmitate residue from the sn-1 position of a phospholipid to the N-linked hydroxymyristate on the proximal unit of lipid A or its precursors. Required for resistance to antibody-mediated complement lysis. Modifications of lipid A with a palmitate chain allow to evade host immune defenses by resisting antibody-mediated complement lysis during respiratory infection.

Belongs to the lipid A palmitoyltransferase family.
