EC 2.3.1.97

[Dioxins are potent mammalian carcinogens and toxins affecting liver, skin, and immune and reproductive systems. N-myristoyltransferase 2 (NMT2) is one of the later dioxin-inducible genes. NMT2 and induced protein myristoyltransferase activity are direct responses to carcinogen exposure. Because inappropriate protein NH(2)-terminal myristoylation appears to play a role in carcinogenesis, induction of NMT2 may play a central role in dioxin carcinogenicity.
