Biochem/physiol Actions

Myristoyl coenzyme A is a combination of coenzyme A and myristate. It serves as a substrate in protein myristoylation, catalyzed by the enzyme N-myristoyl transferase. Myristyolation involves the transfer of the myristoyl group to the glycine residue at the amino-terminal of the protein.

Substrates

Long chain fatty acid (C14) covalently linked to Coenzyme A. Substrate for de novo fatty acid synthesis. Fatty acylation has been shown to block G protein-associated calcium release by a direct allosteric modification of a component of the GTP-activated process.
