Overview
Transglutaminases are enzymes that catalyze the crosslinking of proteins by epsilon-gamma glutamyl lysine isopeptide bonds. While the primary structure of transglutaminases is not conserved, they all have the same amino acid sequence at their active sites and their activity is calcium-dependent. The protein encoded by this gene acts as a monomer, is induced by retinoic acid, and appears to be involved in apoptosis. Finally, the encoded protein is the autoantigen implicated in celiac disease. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] -

What is tgm2 protein?
TGM2 protein, also known as transglutaminase 2, is an enzyme that is found in various tissues throughout the body. It belongs to the transglutaminase family of proteins and is involved in a process known as protein cross-linking.
Protein cross-linking refers to the formation of covalent bonds between proteins, resulting in the stabilization and strengthening of protein structures. TGM2 catalyzes the formation of these bonds by transferring an amine group from a protein-bound glutamine residue to a protein-bound lysine residue, resulting in the creation of an isopeptide bond.
TGM2 has been implicated in several biological processes, including wound healing, cell adhesion, apoptosis (programmed cell death), and inflammation. It has also been associated with various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and autoimmune diseases.
What is the function of tgm2 protein?
The main function of TGM2 is to stabilize the extracellular matrix by cross-linking proteins such as collagen and fibronectin. This cross-linking process plays a role in wound healing, tissue remodeling, and maintaining tissue integrity and strength.
Additionally, TGM2 is involved in various cellular processes, including cell adhesion, differentiation, apoptosis (programmed cell death), autophagy, and inflammation. It can modify and cross-link various intracellular proteins, influencing their functions and interactions.
Tgm2 related signaling pathway
Tgm2 plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including tissue repair, apoptosis (programmed cell death), cell adhesion, and cell migration. It is also involved in cell signaling pathways, immune responses, and inflammation.
Furthermore, Tgm2 has been implicated in several human diseases, including celiac disease, neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, cancer progression and metastasis, and fibrosis.
Tgm2 Related Diseases
TGM2 has been associated with several diseases and pathological conditions. One prominent disease associated with TGM2 is celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder characterized by an abnormal immune response to gluten. TGM2 plays a role in the pathogenesis of celiac disease by deamidating gluten peptides, increasing their immunogenicity, and triggering an immune response.
TGM2 has also been implicated in other conditions such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease), fibrosis, cardiovascular diseases, and inflammatory diseases. Its dysregulation in these diseases can contribute to altered cell behavior, tissue remodeling, and aberrant immune responses.
Biomedical Application of tgm2 Protein
Tgm2 is also involved in the pathogenesis of certain autoimmune diseases, most notably celiac disease. In individuals with celiac disease, Tgm2 is targeted by autoantibodies and forms complexes with gluten peptides. These complexes trigger an immune response, leading to tissue damage in the small intestine. The detection of Tgm2 autoantibodies is used as a diagnostic marker for celiac disease.
In addition, Tgm2 has been implicated in cancer progression and metastasis. It promotes tumor cell invasion and migration by modulating the extracellular matrix and promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Tgm2 expression has been observed in various cancer types and is associated with poor prognosis and drug resistance.
