Descriptor transglutaminasas
Entry term(s) glutaminil-péptido gammaglutamiltransferasas
proteína-glutamina gammaglutamiltransferasas
transglutaminasa
Scope note: Enzimas que catalizan el enlace cruzado de proteínas a una glutamina en una cadena y a LISINA en otra cadena. Comprenden la transglutaminasa de los queratinocitos (TGM1 o TGK), la transglutaminasa tisular (TGM2 o TGC), la transglutaminasa plasmática implicada en la coagulación (FACTOR XIII y FACTOR XIIIa), la transglutaminasa del folículo piloso y la transglutaminasa prostática. Aunque tienen diferentes estructuras comparten un sitio activo (YGQCW) y la estricta dependencia del CALCIO.

Scope note: Transglutaminases catalyze cross-linking of proteins at a GLUTAMINE in one chain with LYSINE in another chain. They include keratinocyte transglutaminase (TGM1 or TGK), tissue transglutaminase (TGM2 or TGC), plasma transglutaminase involved with coagulation (FACTOR XIII and FACTOR XIIIa), hair follicle transglutaminase, and prostate transglutaminase. Although structures differ, they share an active site (YGQCW) and strict CALCIUM dependence.
Annotation: distinguish entry terms GLUTAMINYL-PEPTIDE GAMMA-GLUTAMYLTRANSFERASES, and TRANSGLUTAMINASES from GAMMA-GLUTAMYL TRANSPEPTIDASE which is involved with glutathione metabolism; PLASMA TRANSGLUTAMINASE see FACTOR XIIIA is also available
