Restrictions
For Research Use only
Format
Liquid
Buffer
PBS containing 0.02 % sodium azide.
Preservative
Sodium azide
Precaution of Use
WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Handling Advice
Avoid freezing and thawing repeatly.
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
Store at 4 °C for short term use.Store at -20 °C for long term preservation.
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. Synonyms: Transglutaminase 5, protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase 5, TGase-5, TGase X, TGMX, TGX
