TGM3 Polyclonal antibody

TGM3 (Transglutaminase 3) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TGM3 include Uncombable Hair Syndrome 2 and Uncombable Hair Syndrome 1. Transglutaminases are enzymes that catalyze the crosslinking of proteins by epsilon-gamma glutamyl lysine isopeptide bonds. While the primary structure of transglutaminases is not conserved, they all have the same amino acid sequence at their active sites and their activity is calcium-dependent. The protein encoded by this gene consists of two polypeptide chains activated from a single precursor protein by proteolysis. The encoded protein is involved the later stages of cell envelope formation in the epidermis and hair follicle. TG3 is expressed as an inactive 77 kDa zymogen which must be activated by limited proteolytic processing into two fragments (44 kDa and 30 kDa) of which the larger, N-terminal fragment carries the catalytic activity (PMID: 35328331).
