General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
physiological function | transglutaminases form extensively crosslinked, generally insoluble protein polymers. These structures are important for organisms in the formation of skin barrier, hair growth, wound healing and blood clotting. Transglutaminases are a family of enzymes that catalyse the cross-linking of proteins by forming covalent bonds between glutamine (Q) and lysine (K) residues in different polypeptides. Such isopeptide bonds created by TG are highly resistant to proteolysis and increase the mechanical stability of the modified proteins | Gadus morhua |
