Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunocytochemistry (ICC)
Specificity
TGM7 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other TGase protein family members. At least two isoforms of TGM7 are known to exist, this antibody will recognize both isoforms.
Purification
Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column
Immunogen
TGM7 antibody was raised against a AA 13 synthetic peptide near the center of human TGM7.

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. TGM7 belongs to the transglutaminase superfamily and is also thought to catalyze the cross-linking of proteins, often resulting in stabilization of protein assemblies. Little is known of the role of TGM7, but defects in the highly related protein TGM5 are associated with acral peeling skin syndrome.
