TGM5 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other TGase protein family members. Multiple isoforms of TGM5 are known to exist.

Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column

Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.

Can be stored at -20 degree C, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.

Small volumes of anti-TGM5 antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

Transglutaminases (TGM) are a family of structurally and functionally related Ca2+-dependent enzymes (TGases) that stabilize protein assemblies through the formation of gamma-glutamyl-epsilon lysine crosslinks. TGases influence numerous biological processes, including blood coagulation, cell differentiation, fertilization and apoptosis. TGM5 belongs to the transglutaminase superfamily and catalyzes the cross-linking of proteins between glutamine and lysine residues, often resulting in stabilization of protein assemblies. TGM5 is also expressed in the human hair follicle. Defects in TGM5 are associated with acral peeling skin syndrome.

TGM5_HUMAN

This gene encodes a member of the transglutaminase family. The encoded protein catalyzes formation of protein cross-links between glutamine and lysine residues, often resulting in stabilization of protein assemblies. This reaction is calcium dependent. Mutations in this gene have been associated with acral peeling skin syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

TGM5: Catalyzes the cross-linking of proteins and the conjugation of polyamines to proteins. Contributes to the formation of the cornified cell envelope of keratinocytes. Defects in TGM5 are a cause of peeling skin syndrome type A (APSS). A non-inflammatory form of peeling skin syndrome, a genodermatosis characterized by the continuous shedding of the outer layers of the epidermis. In APSS patients, skin peeling is strictly limited to the dorsa of the hands and feet, and it is accompanied by accompanied by painless erythema and spontaneous non-scarring healing. Ultrastructural and histological analysis shows a level of blistering high in the epidermis at the stratum granulosum-stratum corneum junction. Belongs to the transglutaminase superfamily. Transglutaminase family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
