Other Names | Glycylpeptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase 1, Myristoyl-CoA:protein N-myristoyltransferase 1, NMT 1, Type I N-myristoyltransferase, Peptide N-myristoyltransferase 1, NMT1, NMT |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP2519a was selected from the N-term region of human NMT1 . A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | NMT1 {ECO:0000303|PubMed:9506952, ECO:0000312|HGNC:HGNC:7857} |

Function | Adds a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of certain cellular and viral proteins (PubMed:22865860, PubMed:25255805, PubMed:32686708, PubMed:34999170, PubMed:9353336, PubMed:9506952). Also able to mediate N-terminal lysine myristoylation of proteins: catalyzes myristoylation of ARF6 on both 'Gly-2' and 'Lys-3' (PubMed:32103017, PubMed:32111831). Lysine myristoylation is required to maintain ARF6 on membranes during the GTPase cycle (PubMed:32103017). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytosol. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein Note=Copurifies with ribosomes. |
Tissue Location | Heart, gut, kidney, liver and placenta. |

Background
N-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.
