Human Transglutaminase 7/TGM7 (NP_443187.1) VersaClone cDNA

Transglutaminase 7 (TG7), encoded by the TGM7 gene, is also known as protein-glutamine-g-glutamyltransferase Z (Tgase Z). It belongs to the family of transglutaminases that catalyze the posttranslational modification of proteins via calcium dependent cross-linking reactions. TG7 is ubiquitously expressed in humans. Members of the TGM family have been implicated in a variety of human diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, celiac disease, lamellar ichthyosis, bleeding disorders, cataract formation, atherosclerosis, and others.
