Background
TGM7 Antibody: Transglutaminases (TGM) are a family of structurally and functionally related Ca2+-dependent enzymes (TGases) that stabilize protein assemblies through the formation of gamma-glutamyl-epsilon lysine crosslinks. TGases influence numerous biological processes, including blood coagulation, cell differentiation, fertilization and apoptosis. TGM7 belongs to the transglutaminase superfamily and is also thought to catalyze the cross-linking of proteins, often resulting in stabilization of protein assemblies. Little is known of the role of TGM7, but defects in the highly related protein TGM5 are associated with acral peeling skin syndrome.
