Isozyme-specific comprehensive characterization of transglutaminase-crosslinked substrates in kidney fibrosis
Abstract Chronic kidney disease is characterized by prolonged decline in renal function, excessive accumulation of ECM, and progressive tissue fibrosis. Transglutaminase (TG) is a crosslinking enzyme that catalyzes the formation of covalent bonds between glutamine and lysine residues, and is involve...
