Gene: NMT2

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 10

Location in Chromosome : 10p13

Description of this Gene: N-myristoyltransferase 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
