7. 5. Protein Prenylation in Higher Eukaryotes

   Author : Ingela Parmryd; Patrick J Casey; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biokemi; Biochemistry;

   Abstract : Protein prenylation is a post-translational process where proteins become covalently modified by an isoprenoid group. This modification adds hydrophobicity to the proteins. For all prenylated proteins identified to date, the prenyl group is an absolute requirement for their biological functions. READ MORE
