Transglutaminase, Streptoverticillium mobaraense  (Synonyms: TG)

Transglutaminase, Streptoverticillium mobaraense (TG) is an enzyme that forms crosslinks between protein molecules. Transglutaminase catalyses the formation of an isopeptide bond between the group of γ-carboxamides of glutamine residues and the first-order ε-amine groups of different compounds. Transglutaminase is involved in many physiological processes, including coagulation, antibacterial immune reactions and photosynthesis^[1].

Transglutaminase activity can be increased by Co²⁺, Ba²⁺ and K^+[1].
Microbial transglutaminases are inhibited by Zn²⁺, Cu²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ ions which bind to the thiol group of cysteine in the active centre^[1].
