Recombinant Human N-Myristoyltransferase 2

Glycylpeptide N-tetradecan-oyltransferases 2 (NMT2) is a cytoplasmic protein which is a member of the NMT family of proteins. The proteins in the NMT family catalyze the addition of a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of eukaryotic, fungal and viral proteins. These proteins are mostly detected in the heart, gut, kidney, liver and placenta. NMT catalyzes the reaction of N-terminal myristoylation of various signaling proteins. NMT transfers myristic acid from myristoyl coenzyme A to the amino group of a protein's N-terminal glycine residue. There are several distinct NMTs which vary in the molecular weight and /or subcellular distribution.

Escherichia Coli.

The NMT2 solution (1 mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0), 10% glycerol, 2mM DTT and 0.1M NaCl.
