NCIt definition : Glycylpeptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase 1 (496 aa, 57 kDa) is encoded by the human
NMT1 gene. This protein is involved in the irreversible transfer of myristoyl groups
from tetradecanoyl-CoA to N-terminal glycines of protein substrates.;
NCIt note : UniProt reports two forms of glycylpeptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase 1 the long form
(NMT-L) is the canonical form, while the short form (NMT-S; 416 aa, 48 kDa) may be
the result of the use of an alternative AUG start site at codon 81.;
