basic FUNCTION
| catalyzing the cross linking of proteins by epsilon-gamma glutamyl lysine isopeptide bonds |
|
may be involved in apoptosis |
|
involved in several steps of wound healing |
|
inhibits in cooperation with GPR56 melanoma tumor growth and metastasis |
|
involved in corneal epithelial cell death after UVB |
|
play an important role in controlling the deformability and fragility, and therefore lifespan of erythrocytes, in a number of pathophysiological situations |
|
involved in signal transduction and, like two other TGs (TGM3 and TGM5), is able to bind and hydrolyze guanosine triphosphate  |
|
multifunctional enzyme that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, ischemia, and stroke  |
|
may play an important role in protecting against the delayed neuronal cell death in ischemia and stroke  |
|
may be involved in the development of schizophrenia  |
|
antiapoptotic mediator of HIF1A through modulating both apoptosis and survival pathways that may confer a selective growth advantage to tumor cells  |
|
inhibits CASP3 activity and activates NFKB1 pathway  |
|
involved in early onset diabetes type 2 |
|
regulates levels of cellular GTP-bound Rac and actin cytoskeletal reorganization through direct inhibition of BcR GTP-ase activating activity  |
|
increased TGM2 expression can result in the induction of TGFB1 causing increased synthesis and deposition of matrix proteins  |
|
acts as a G-protein  |
|
inducing degradation of PP2A-alpha, thereby increasing MMP2 transcription  |
|
important extracellular crosslinking enzyme involved in matrix turnover and in bone differentiation  |
|
in vascular SMCs acts as a principal enhancer within the PDGF-BB/PDGFRB signaling axis involved in phenotypic modulation of these cells, thereby suggesting a novel role in the progression of vascular diseases  |
|
directly regulates hypoxic transcriptional machinery, but its interaction with HIF1B was not required for this regulation  |
|
may have intrinsic kinase activity that phosphorylates paxillin  |
|
roles of TGM2 in ADGRG1-mediated melanoma inhibition  |
|
is a calcium-dependent enzyme that irreversibly modifies proteins by forming cross-linked protein aggregates  |
|
because stress events activate the sympathetic nervous system and result in secretion of the catecholamines, adrenoceptor-mediated increase in macrophage TGM2 expression might be associated with stress-related inflammatory disorders  |
|
multifunctional protein cross-linking enzyme that has been implicated in apoptotic cell clearance but is also important in many other cell functions including cell adhesion, migration and monocyte to macrophage differentiation  |
|
expressed in mast cells recruited into skin or bone marrow, induces the development of pediatric mastocytosis  |
|
TGM2, likely in association with heparan sulphates, may exert its effect on apoptotic cell clearance via a mechanism involving the crosslinking of CD44  |
|
is an important player in the biogenesis of exosomes controlling the selectivity of their cargo under stressful cellular conditions  |
|
catalyzes a crosslink between protein bound-glutamine and -lysine  |
|
multifunctional enzyme tissue Transglutaminase (TGM2) is known to participate in most of the monocyte- and macrophage-mediated processes |
|
ubiquitous crosslinking enzyme present in both intra- and extracellular in many cell types and tissues  |
|
TGM2 functions include transamidation and GTPase activity, among others, and is implicated as a regulator of astrocytes migration  |
|
might contribute to early hepato-cellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence through signaling pathways not related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and integrin signaling 9) |
|
kidney fibrosis in aging may represent a natural outcome of upregulated COL18A1 and TGM2, but more likely it appears to be a result of cumulative stresses occurring on the background of synergistically acting geronic (aging) proteins, COL18A1 and TGM2  |
|
TGM2 is involved in a broad range of cellular processes (including transmembrane signaling, mitochondrial functions, gene expression regulation, autophagy, and apoptosis)  |
|
has a pivotal role in celiac disease pathogenesis through generating immunogenic peptides from gliadin  |
|
TGM2 (and possibly also TGM3, TGM7) gained vital functions which have not been fully revealed, yet  |
