Abstract excerpt
Transglutaminases are an enzyme family that catalyses protein cross-linking essential for several biological functions. In the previous studies, we characterized the orthologues of the mammalian transglutaminase family in medaka (Oryzias latipes), an established fish model. Among the human isozymes, tissue-type transglutaminase (TG2) has multiple functions that are involved in several biological phenomena. In...
