PROTEIN-GLUTAMINE GAMMA-GLUTAMYLTRANSFERASE

Specialty Definition: PROTEIN-GLUTAMINE GAMMA-GLUTAMYLTRANSFERASE

DomainDefinition

Health

An enzyme that catalyzes the reaction of protein glutamine and an alkylamine to yield protein N(5)-alkylglutamine and ammonia. The gamma-carboxamide groups of peptide-bound glutamine residues act as acyl donors, and the 6-amino groups of protein- and peptide-bound lysine residues act as acceptors, to give intra- and inter-molecular N(6)-(5-glutamyl)lysine crosslinks. In the epidermis these cross-linked proteins are involved in the formation of the cornified envelope of the stratum corneum cells. In the plasma, the transglutaminase is called factor XIIIa, the activated form of factor XIII. The crosslinking results in the stabilization of the fibrin clot. EC 2.3.2.13. (references)
