The human transglutaminase (TG) family consists of a structural protein, protein 4.2, that
lacks catalytic activity, and eight zymogens/enzymes, designated factor XIII-A (FXIII-A) and …

Abstract Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is a multifunctional protein that can function as a
transglutaminase, G protein, kinase, protein disulfide isomerase, and as an adaptor protein …

Abstract Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is an inducible transamidating acyltransferase that
catalyzes Ca (2+)-dependent protein modifications. In addition to being an enzyme, TG2 …

During the course of their natural ageing and upon injury, anucleate erythrocytes can
undergo an unconventional apoptosis-like cell death, termed eryptosis. Eryptotic …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes a wide range of infections in
multiple hosts by releasing an arsenal of virulence factors such as pyocyanin. Despite …

Background Phosphatidylserine exposure by red blood cells is acknowledged as a signal
