transglutaminase-3 (tranglutaminase-E, E3, TGM3)

Function: - catalyzes the cross-linking of proteins & the conjugation of polyamines to proteins - responsible for the later stages of cell envelope formation in the epidermis & the hair follicle protein glutamine + alkylamine protein N(5)-alkylglutamine + NH3 Cofactor: binds 1 Ca+2 per subunit (putative) Structure: - consists of two polypeptide chains, which are synthesized as a precursor form of a single polypeptide activated by proteolytic processing - belongs to the transglutaminase superfamily transglutaminase family82 1993
