Biochem/physiol Actions

Protein farnesyltransferase subunit β is an enzyme encoded by the FNTB gene in humans and is located on human chromosome bands 14q23-q24. It helps in catalyzing the biologically relevant lipidation of cellular proteins. FTase may play an important role in the genesis and development of primary liver cancer (PLC). It may act as a reliable marker for the metastatic activity gained by liver tumor cells. FTase may be used clinically in predicting metastatic recurrence of PLC. Farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase) inhibitors (FTIs) were also developed as potential anticancer agents targeting the ras oncogene and also for parasitic infections.
