Cytoplasmic staining at variable intensity in most cancer tissues. Strong staining in several cases urothelial and renal carcinomas. Most cancer tissues showed several negative cases.
Cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining. Several cases of prostate, renal, gastric, liver and pancreatic cancers were virtually negative.

Description
N-myristoyltransferase 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Myristate, a rare 14-carbon saturated fatty acid, is cotranslationally attached by an amide linkage to the N-terminal glycine residue of cellular and viral proteins with diverse functions. N-myristoyltransferase (NMT; EC 2.3.1.97) catalyzes the transfer of myristate from CoA to proteins. N-myristoylation appears to be irreversible and is required for full expression of the biologic activities of several N-myristoylated proteins, including the alpha subunit of the signal-transducing guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein) GO (GNAO1; MIM 139311) (Duronio et al., 1992 [PubMed 1570339]).[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2008]
