Ceramide synthase 5; Ceramide synthase that catalyzes formation of ceramide from sphinganine and acyl-CoA substrates, with high selectivity toward palmitoyl-CoA (hexadecanoyl-CoA; C16:0-CoA) as acyl donor (PubMed:16951403, PubMed:18541923, PubMed:22144673, PubMed:22661289, PubMed:23530041, PubMed:26887952, PubMed:29632068). Can use other acyl donors, but with less efficiency (By similarity). ECO:0000269|PubMed:18541923, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22144673, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22661289, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23530041,
