Background: Transglutaminase 3/TGM3
Transglutaminase 3 (TG3), also known as epidermal Transglutaminase (Tgase E), belongs to the family of Transglutaminase enzymes that catalyze the posttranslational modification of proteins via calcium dependent cross-linking reactions (1-3). TG3 is involved in the formation of the cornified envelope in skin keratinocytes (4). It functions to cross-link structural proteins during epidermal terminal differentiation. TG3 has been implicated as the dominant autoantigen in dermatitis herpetiformis (5). TG3 activation requires proteolysis of the 77 kDa zymogen into two fragments of approximately 50 and 27 kDa to form the active enzyme (1).
