Rat Transglutaminase-3,TGM3 ELI

Catalyzes the calcium-dependent formation of isopeptide cross-links between glutamine and lysine residues in various proteins, as well as the conjugation of polyamines to proteins.

Involved in the formation of the cornified envelope (CE), a specialized component consisting of covalent cross-links of proteins beneath the plasma membrane of terminally differentiated keratinocytes.

Catalyzes small proline-rich proteins and LOR cross-linking to form small interchain oligomers, which are further cross-linked by TGM1 onto the growing CE scaffold.

In hair follicles, involved in cross-linking structural proteins to hardening the inner root sheath (By similarity).
