High impact information on Nmt2

  • The Nmt2 mRNA could be detected in Nmt1-/- ES cells, but the total NMT activity levels were reduced by approximately 95%, suggesting that Nmt2 contributes little to total enzyme activity levels in these early embryo cells [1].
  • Transient transfection of either the hNMT-1 or hNMT-2 cDNA into COS-7 cells resulted in the expression of high levels of NMT enzyme activity [2].
  • Western blot analyses revealed that loss of NMT2 shifted the expression of the BCL family of proteins toward apoptosis [3].
 

Other interactions of Nmt2

  • 5. Northern blots revealed lower levels of Nmt2 expression in early development than at later time points, a potential explanation for the demise of Nmt1-/- embryos [1].
