N-myristoyltransferase

N-myristoyltransferase; NMT

N-myristoyltransferase (NMT) is a post-translational modification enzyme that catalyzes the covalent attachment of myristic acid to the N-terminal glycine residue of proteins, belonging to the GNAT protein superfamily.
NMT comprises two isoforms: NMT1 and NMT2. By modifying signaling proteins (such as Src family kinases), NMT regulates cell proliferation, apoptosis, and pathogen infection, and interacts with proteins like heat shock protein HSP90 and calmodulin to affect protein stability.
NMT is implicated in the onset and progression of various diseases, including cancer, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, Noonan syndrome, as well as viral and bacterial infections[1][2][3][4].
