Abstract excerpt
Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) post-translationally modifies proteins in a calcium-dependent manner by incorporation of polyamines, deamination or crosslinking. Moreover, tTG can also bind and hydrolyze GTP. tTG is the major transglutaminase in the mammalian nervous system, localizing predominantl...
