Plasma membrane targeting (Myrpalm)


Localization sequence to direct a protein into the cell membrane. Myrpalm.jpg


Usage and Biology

This localization signal is located at the N-terminal end of the amino acid chain. The myrpalm signalsequence causes a myristoylation and palmitoylation of the targeted protein. Both modifications lead to a binding to the cell membrane.[Partitioning of Lipid-Modified Monomeric GFPs into Membrane Microdomains of Live Cells.
