Summary

NMT2 (N-myristoyltransferase 2, HGNC:7858) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10p13, encoding Glycylpeptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase 2 (O60551). Adds a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of certain cellular and viral proteins.

This gene encodes one of two N-myristoyltransferase proteins. N-terminal myristoylation is a lipid modification that is involved in regulating the function and localization of signaling proteins. The encoded protein catalyzes the addition of a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of many signaling proteins, including the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) proteins, Gag and Nef. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Adds a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of certain cellular and viral proteins. Also able to mediate N-terminal lysine myristoylation of proteins: catalyzes myristoylation of ARF6 on both ‘Gly-2’ and ‘Lys-3’. Lysine myristoylation is required to maintain ARF6 on membranes during the GTPase cycle.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Membrane.

Similarity. Belongs to the NMT family.
