2.3.2.13 |
| Accepted name: |
protein-glutamine γ-glutamyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
protein glutamine + alkylamine = protein N5-alkylglutamine + NH3 |
| Other name(s): |
transglutaminase; Factor XIIIa; fibrinoligase; fibrin stabilizing factor; glutaminylpeptide γ-glutamyltransferase; polyamine transglutaminase; tissue transglutaminase; R-glutaminyl-peptide:amine γ-glutamyl transferase |
| Systematic name: |
protein-glutamine:amine γ-glutamyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Requires Ca2+. The γ-carboxamide groups of peptide-bound glutamine residues act as acyl donors, and the 6-amino-groups of protein- and peptide-bound lysine residues act as acceptors, to give intra- and inter-molecular N6-(5-glutamyl)-lysine crosslinks. Formed by proteolytic cleavage from plasma Factor XIII |
