TGM2 Antibody

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. TGM2 acts as a monomer, is induced by retinoic acid, and appears to be involved in apoptosis. Finally, TGM2 is the autoantigen implicated in celiac disease.Transglutaminases are enzymes that catalyze the crosslinking of proteins by epsilon-gamma glutamyl lysine isopeptide bonds.

Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.Transglutaminases are enzymes that catalyze the crosslinking of proteins by epsilon-gamma glutamyl lysine isopeptide bonds.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store TGM2 antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

TGM2 antibody can be used for detection of TGM2 by ELISA at 1:312500. TGM2 antibody can be used for detection of TGM2 by western blot at 0.25 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
