Gene information for NMT2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9397
Official gene symbolNMT2
Full nameN-myristoyltransferase 2
Aliases,-,
Gene summaryN-myristoyltransferase (NMT) catalyzes the reaction of N-terminal myristoylation of many signaling proteins. It transfers myristic acid from myristoyl coenzyme A to the amino group of a protein's N-terminal glycine residue. Biochemical evidence indicates the presence of several distinct NMTs, varying in apparent molecular weight and /or subcellular distribution. The predicted 498-amino acid of human NMT2 protein shares 77% and 96% sequence identity with human NMT1 and mouse Nmt2 comprise two distinct families of N-myristoyltransferases. [provided by RefSeq]
