Application

Application Comment Organism
drug development NMT is a putative drug target Trypanosoma brucei

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information knockdown of NMT expression by tetracycline-inducible RNA interference leads to cell death with a block in endocytosis, but vesicle accumulation around the flagellar pocket indicates a defect in vesicular progression following endocytic fusion. Induced parasites have a wild-type or slightly enlarged Golgi apparatus, phenotype and pleiotropic effects, overview Trypanosoma brucei
