Glycylpeptide N-tetradecanoyltransferase 2
Function
Adds a myristoyl group to the N-terminal glycine residue of certain cellular and viral proteins (PubMed:25255805, PubMed:9506952). Also able to mediate N-terminal lysine myristoylation of proteins: catalyzes myristoylation of ARF6 on both 'Gly-2' and 'Lys-3' (PubMed:32103017). Lysine myristoylation is required to maintain ARF6 on membranes during the GTPase cycle (PubMed:32103017).
