Biotechnological Applications of Transglutaminases
Biomolecules, 2013 In nature, transglutaminases catalyze the formation of amide bonds between proteins to form insoluble protein aggregates. This specific function has long been exploited in the food and textile industries as a protein cross-linking agent to alter the ...

Regulation of Pollen Tube Growth by Transglutaminase [PDF]
Plants, 2013 In pollen tubes, cytoskeleton proteins are involved in many aspects of pollen germination and growth, from the transport of sperm cells to the asymmetrical distribution of organelles to the deposition of cell wall material.

Transglutaminases and neurodegeneration [PDF]
Journal of Neurochemistry, 2009 AbstractTransglutaminases (TGs) are Ca2+‐dependent enzymes that catalyze a variety of modifications of glutaminyl (Q) residues. In the brain, these modifications include the covalent attachment of a number of amine‐bearing compounds, including lysyl (K) residues and polyamines, which serve to either regulate enzyme activity or attach the TG substrates ...

Plant Transglutaminases: New Insights in Biochemistry, Genetics, and Physiology
Cells, 2022 Transglutaminases (TGases) are calcium-dependent enzymes that catalyse an acyl-transfer reaction between primary amino groups and protein-bound Gln residues. They are widely distributed in nature, being found in vertebrates, invertebrates, microorganisms,

Tgm1-like transglutaminases in tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Among the adaptations of aquatic species during evolution of terrestrial tetrapods was the development of an epidermis preventing desiccation. In present day mammals, keratinocytes of the epidermis, using a membrane-bound transglutaminase (Tgm1 ...

Transglutaminase in Foods and Biotechnology
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Stabilization and reusability of enzyme transglutaminase (TGM) are important goals for the enzymatic process since immobilizing TGM plays an important role in different technologies and industries. TGM can be used in many applications. In the food industry, it plays a role as a protein-modifying enzyme, while, in biotechnology and pharmaceutical ...
