Background: Transglutaminase 7/TGM7
Transglutaminase 7 (TG7), encoded by the TGM7 gene, is also known as protein-glutamine-g-glutamyltransferase Z (Tgase Z) (1). It belongs to the family of Transglutaminases that catalyze the posttranslational modification of proteins via calcium dependent cross-linking reactions (2-4). TG7 is ubiquitously expressed in humans (1). Members of the TGM family have been implicated in a variety of human diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, celiac disease, lamellar ichthyosis, bleeding disorders, cataract formation, atherosclerosis, and others (5).
