Use of transglutaminases in foods and potential utilization of plants as a transglutaminase source – Review [PDF]

Biotemas, 2012
Transglutaminases (TGases) are enzymes able to catalyze acyl-transfer reactions introducing covalent cross-links between proteins, peptides and primary amines.

Biocatalysis by Transglutaminases: A Review of Biotechnological Applications

Micromachines, 2018
The biocatalytic activity of transglutaminases (TGs) leads to the synthesis of new covalent isopeptide bonds (crosslinks) between peptide-bound glutamine and lysine residues, but also the transamidation of primary amines to glutamine residues, which ...

At the core of global bioenergy: polyamines and transglutaminases in chloroplasts [PDF]

Amino Acids
Chloroplasts are the energy factories of photosynthetic life. The energy and the plant biomass of the planet depend on the activity of chloroplasts. Their efficiency results from a delicate balance between membrane organization, metabolic regulation and ...

Mass Spectrometric Identification of a Novel Factor XIIIa Cross-Linking Site in Fibrinogen

Proteomes, 2021
Transglutaminases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the formation of a protein:protein cross-link between a lysine and a glutamine residue. These cross-links play important roles in diverse biological processes.

Solid-Phase Synthesis of Selectively Mono-Fluorobenz(o)ylated Polyamines as a Basis for the Development of ¹⁸F-Labeled Radiotracers

Molecules, 2021
Polyamines are highly attractive vectors for tumor targeting, particularly with regards to the development of radiolabeled probes for imaging by positron emission (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).

Increased Osteoclastogenesis in Absence of TG2 Is Reversed by Transglutaminase Inhibition—Evidence for the Role for TG1 in Osteoclast Formation

Cells, 2023
Osteoclasts are multinucleated, bone-resorbing giant cells derived from monocyte–macrophage cell lines. Increased bone resorption results in loss of bone mass and osteoporosis.

Silencing Transglutaminase Genes TGase2 and TGase3 Has Infection-Dependent Effects on the Heart Rate of the Mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Insects, 2022
Transglutaminases are pleiotropic enzymes that in mosquitoes participate in the formation of the mating plug and the wound-induced antimalarial response.
