Gene: NMT1
Official Full Name: N-myristoyltransferase 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: Myristate, a rare 14-carbon saturated fatty acid, is cotranslationally attached by an amide linkage to the N-terminal glycine residue of cellular and viral proteins with diverse functions. N-myristoyltransferase (NMT; EC 2.3.1.97) catalyzes the transfer of myristate from CoA to proteins. N-myristoylation appears to be irreversible and is required for full expression of the biologic activities of several N-myristoylated proteins, including the alpha subunit of the signal-transducing guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) GO (GNAO1; MIM 139311) (Duronio et al., 1992 [PubMed 1570339]).[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2008]

NMT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically engineered cell lines specifically designed to lack the expression of the N-myristoyltransferase 1 (NMT1) gene. This enzyme plays a critical role in protein myristoylation, a post-translational modification that alters protein function, stability, and cellular localization. By creating a knockout of the NMT1 gene, researchers have a powerful tool to investigate the physiological and pathological roles of myristoylation in various biological processes, including signal transduction, cell proliferation, and apoptosis.
The primary mechanism of action involves the absence of NMT1 leading to a decreased myristoylation of target proteins, which can have cascading effects on cellular signaling pathways and gene expression profiles. This allows for a deeper understanding of how myristoylation influences cellular functions and disease mechanisms, making these cell lines invaluable for drug discovery and development, particularly in the fields of oncology and infectious diseases.
The scientific importance of NMT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines cannot be overstated, as they provide a platform for elucidating the roles of myristoylated proteins in human health and disease. Researchers can utilize these lines to screen for potential therapeutic compounds that target myristoylation pathways, thereby expediting the drug development process.
One of the key advantages of using our NMT1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their specificity and the precision with which they can model the biological phenomena associated with the absence of myristoylation. Unlike alternative models that may cause ambiguous results due to off-target effects, our knockout lines provide clear insights into the direct impact of NMT1 loss, making them an essential choice for rigorous research applications.
For researchers and clinicians, these cell lines present an opportunity to enhance the understanding of disease mechanisms and to facilitate the discovery of novel therapeutic strategies. Their ability to mimic relevant physiological conditions provides a robust model for experimental applications.
