Biochemical Characterisation of Human Transglutaminase 4
Transglutaminases are protein-modifying enzymes involved in physiological and pathological processes with potent therapeutic possibilities. Human TG4, also called prostate transglutaminase, is involved in the development of autoimmune and tumour diseases. Although rodent TG4 is well characterised, b...

Transglutaminases are protein-modifying enzymes involved in physiological and pathological processes with potent therapeutic possibilities.
