INTRODUCTION
Myristate, a rare 14-carbon saturated fatty acid, is co-translationally attached by an amide linkage to the N-terminal glycine residue of cellular & viral proteins with various functions. N-Myristoyltransferase 1, also known as NMT1 catalyzes the transfer of myristate from CoA to proteins. NMT1 seems to be irreversible and is essential for full expression of the biologic activities of several N-myristoylated proteins, as well as the alpha subunit of the signal-transducing guanine nucleotide-binding protein, G protein.
DESCRIPTION
NMT1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 519 amino acids (1-496 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 59.2kDa.
NMT1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
