Nmt2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable glycylpeptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase activity and peptidyl-lysine N6-myristoyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in N-terminal peptidyl-glycine N-myristoylation and protein localization to membrane. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Orthologous to human NMT2 (N-myristoyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Nmt2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
