Human Transglutaminase 7/TGM7 Antibody Summary

Species Reactivity

Human

Specificity

Detects human Transglutaminase 7/TGM7 in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs, approximately 5% cross‑reactivity with recombinant human (rh) Transglutaminase 3 is observed, and less than 2% cross-reactivity with rhTransglutaminase 2, rhTransglutaminase 4, and recombinant mouse Transglutaminase 2 is observed.

Detection of Human Transglutaminase 7/TGM7 by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of human thyroid tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human Transglutaminase 7/TGM7 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5426) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for Transglutaminase 7/TGM7 at approximately 90 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 8.

Background: Transglutaminase 7/TGM7

Transglutaminase 7 (TG7), encoded by the TGM7 gene, is also known as protein-glutamine-g-glutamyltransferase Z (Tgase Z) (1). It belongs to the family of Transglutaminases that catalyze the posttranslational modification of proteins via calcium dependent cross-linking reactions (2‑4). TG7 is ubiquitously expressed in humans (1). Members of the TGM family have been implicated in a variety of human diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, celiac disease, lamellar ichthyosis, bleeding disorders, cataract formation, atherosclerosis, and others (5).
