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.
