Biological process

peptidyl-S-palmitoyl-L-cysteine anabolism from peptidyl-cysteine, peptidyl-S-palmitoyl-L-cysteine biosynthetic process from peptidyl-cysteine, peptidyl-S-palmitoyl-L-cysteine formation from peptidyl-cysteine, peptidyl-S-palmitoyl-L-cysteine synthesis from peptidyl-cysteine, peptidyl-cysteine S-palmitoylation

The covalent attachment of a palmitoyl group to a sulfur (S) atom within a cysteine residue to form peptidyl-S-palmitoyl-L-cysteine.

Palmitoylation of a non-terminal cysteine residue always occurs on a sulfur (S) atom.
