Transglutaminase 4/TGM4 antibody in Human Prostate by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

Transglutaminase 4/TGM4 in Human Prostate.

Transglutaminase 4/TGM4 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human prostate using Sheep Anti-Human Transglutaminase 4/TGM4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5760) at 10 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Before incubation with the primary antibody tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using the Anti-Sheep HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS019) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

Detection of Human Transglutaminase 4/TGM4 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human Transglutaminase 4/TGM4 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human Transglutaminase 4/TGM4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5760) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for Transglutaminase 4/TGM4 at approximately 77 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.

Background: Transglutaminase 4/TGM4

TGM4 (Transglutaminase 4; also TGP and Prostate-specific transglutaminase) is a 77 kDa member of the papain-like family of transglutaminases. It is expressed by various tumor cell lines plus prostatic epithelium, and may participate in semen protein modification. TGM4, like other TGMs, can apparently mediate transamidation, plus esterification reactions. Human TGM4 is 684 amino acids (aa) in length. Although it does not contain a signal sequence, based on rodent, it is likely secreted as a homodimer. TGM4 contains an active enzyme site between aa 263‑353, and shows a C-terminal Ig-like domain (aa 587‑684). The molecule has a requirement for divalent calcium. There are two potential splice variants. One shows a 45 aa insertion after Leu8, while another shows a 12 aa substitution for aa 1‑80. Human full‑length TGM4 shares only 54% aa identity with mouse TGM4.
