General description

Transglutaminases (TG) are a family of enzymes that catalyze isopeptide bond formation. This bond formation occurs between the γ-carboxyamide group of glutamine and various primary amines (primarily the ε-amino group of lysine). The resulting intermolecular or intramolecular cross-linking of transglutaminase is highly stable and shows high resistance to proteolytic degradation. The transglutaminase crosslinking activity support the formation of blood clots , skin and hair. On the other hand, TG is now being implicated in Celiac disease as well as in Huntington and Parkinson diseases. Historically, Microbial transglutaminase has been heavily used in the food industry. Microbial TG is often preferred for newer applications (such as site-specific protein modification and antibody drug conjugation) due to its small molecular weight and lack of calcium dependency when compared to the mammalian forms.

Application

Microbial Transglutaminase has been used for:
  • Protein cross-linking & site-specific labeling
  • Antibody Drug Conjugation
  • 3D bioprinting bioink preparation
  • Food related immunogenicity/pathogenicity related research

Features and Benefits

  • Small (~38kDa) and calcium independent enzyme
  • Highly purified lyophilized enzyme
  • Consistent and reproducible activity
  • Characterized for endotoxin content

Preparation Note

For R&D use only. Not for drug, household, or other uses. Please consult the Safety Data Sheet for information regarding hazards and safe handling practices
Store the freeze-dried product at –20 °C. It is recommended to store the reconstituted protein in working aliquots at –20 °C to avoid repeated freeze/ thaw cycles.

Questions

1–3 of 3 Questions  
  1. Hi, I have purchased Microbial Transglutaminase lyophilized powder, >12 units per mg (SAE0159-25UN). How can I prepare its stock? How much volume of solvent (for example PBS) should I add in the vial containing enzyme powder? 

    1 answer
    1. Reconstitute this product in 20 mM Tris-HCl containing 150 mM NaCl, in Molecular Biology grade water, pH 8 at 0.14 units per microliter. The unit per milligram activity is lot-specific and available in the product Certificate of Analysis. Further usage instructions are available in the product datasheet at the link below:
      https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/product/documents/339/389/sae0159pis-ms.pdf

  2. Bonjour, Est-il possible de savoir la masse totale d'enzyme dans le produit ? Les 25 units correspondent bien à l'activité de la poudre (mélange enzyme + excipients) ?

    1 answer
    1. The total mass of product in each vial varies from lot to lot due to variability in the protein content and the activity per milligram protein. The vial contents may be calculated based on information reported in the Certificate of Analysis. A review of recent lots reveals a range of 14 - 30% protein with an activity range of 14 -38 units per milligram protein.
