New links between <i>S</i>‐acylation and cancer
24 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
S-acylation (also known as palmitoylation) is a major post-translational protein modification in all eukaryotic cells, involving the attachment of fatty acids onto cysteine residues. A variety of structural and signalling proteins are modified in this way, affecting their stability, membrane association and intracellular targeting. The enzymes that mediate S-acylation are encoded by genes belonging to the large...
