| Myristoyl-CoA:protein N-myristoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.97) (NMT) covalently transfers a myristate group to an N-terminal glycine residue. (The N-terminal methionine must therefore be cleaved away.) The attached lipid moiety can act as a membrane anchor. The Src oncoprotein is a well known example of an N-myristoylated protein. |
