Anti-TGM5 Antibody

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 antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human TGM5. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of 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.

TGM5 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
