Application

10 mM calcium chloride is used for activation of the enzyme.
Transglutaminase has been used in a study to improve quantifiable assays to fully characterize the role of transglutaminase in diseases such as Huntington′s disease and Alzheimer′s disease.Transglutaminase has also been used in a study to develop a nonradioactive dot blot assay for transglutaminase activity.

Unit Definition

One unit will catalyze the formation of 1.0 μmole of hydroxamate per minute from Nα-Z-Gln-Gly and hydroxylamine at pH 6.0 at 37 °C. (L-Glutamic acid γ-monohydroxamate is the standard.)

Physical form

Lyophilized from 10 mM NaH2PO4, 150 mM NaCl, pH 8. Contains maltodextrin.

We report investigations of benzoate and glycine metabolism and glycine acyltransferase activity in rats. These studies provide insights related to the therapy and pathophysiology of human nonketotic hyperglycinemia. Liver acyltransferase activity increased sharply postnatally from low levels at birth, but

The aralkyl-CoA:glycine N-acyltransferase and the arylacetyl-CoA:amino acid of N-acyltransferase were purified from bovine liver mitochondria and their response to a variety of ions investigated. The activity of the aralkyl transferase was inhibited by divalent cations with all substrates investigated. For

The amino acid conjugation of the phenoxyherbicides 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4,5-T) by animals was examined at the level of the enzymes catalyzing the reactions. The phenoxyherbicides were not substrates for the bile acid conjugating system but were substrates for
