Scientific Data Images for Transglutaminase 2/TGM2 Antibody

Detection of Mouse and Rat Transglutaminase 2/ TGM2 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Mouse and Rat Transglutaminase 2/ TGM2 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of mouse lung tissue and rat lung tissue. PVDF Membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Mouse/Rat Transglutaminase 2/TGM2 Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5418) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for Transglutaminase 2/TGM2 at approximately 80-85 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.

Background: Transglutaminase 2/TGM2

Transglutaminase 2 (TG2), encoded by the Tgm2 gene, is also known as tissue Transglutaminase (tTG), Transglutaminase C (TGC), and protein-glutamine-gamma -glutamyltransferase. It belongs to the family of transglutaminases that catalyze the posttranslational modification of proteins via calcium dependent cross-linking reactions (1‑3). In addition to its function in protein cross-linking, TGM2 is also capable of hydrolyzing both GTP and ATP (4) and has intrinsic kinase activity (5). TGM2 has been implicated in a variety of human diseases including celiac disease, inclusion body myositis, atherosclerosis, and neurodegenerative diseases (6, 7).
