Description générale

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

Caractéristiques et avantages

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

Transglutaminase (TGase) activity is increased in affected regions of brains from patients with Huntington's disease (HD). TGase activity is particularly elevated in the nucleus compared with the cytoplasm from these brains. Gamma-glutaminyl-lysyl cross-links have been detected in nuclear inclusions in
