For example, it was reported that both N-myristoylation and palmitoylation appear to have opposing roles and different membrane lipid microdomain preferences for the G protein-membrane interactions I (Gαi1) monomer, which are likely due to the conformational differences in the presence of different fatty acids [31] . Potential targets of cancer treatments Given that altered NMT expression is observed in many types of cancer tissues and because many N-myristoylated proteins are involved in signaling processes that regulate cell proliferation, growth and death, it has been proposed that N-myristoylation or NMTs can be considered as therapeutic targets for cancer. ./cache/cord-012682-7goljir4.txt ./txt/cord-012682-7goljir4.txt
