Description | Transglutaminase is an enzyme that forms crosslinks between protein molecules. Transglutaminase catalyses the formation of an isopeptide bond between the group of γ-carboxamides of glutamine residues and the first-order ε-amine groups of different compounds. Transglutaminase is involved in many physiological processes, including coagulation, antibacterial immune reactions and photosynthesis[1]. |
