Background Information

Isoprenylcysteine carboxylmethyltransferase (ICMT), also known as PCCMT, is a multi-spanning endoplasmic reticulum integral membrane protein conserved among eukaryotic organisms. Methylation by ICMT is important for partitioning of CAAX proteins into lipid membranes as this modification neutralizes the negative charge on the carboxylate and increases the hydrophobicity of the modified protein (PMID: 25059662). Homozygous gene knockout of PPMT interferes with localization of K-Ras to the plasma membrane in mammalian cells and leads to the death of mouse embryos during gestation (PMID: 12141948).
