Transglutaminase 2, also known as TGM2, tTG, TG2, TGC, and G-alpha-h (Accession numbers: Nucleotide NM_004613. 2, Protein NP_004604. 2; EC 2.3. 2.13) has two isoforms due to alternative splicing:(a) has 13 exons encoding 687 amino acids (77kDa) and (b) has 10 exons encoding 548 amino acids (61.7 kDA). The human transglutaminase 2 gene (TGM2) is located on chromosome 20q12. Transglutaminase 2 is secreted by an unknown non-conventional mechanism, since it lacks a signal sequence. Although potential glycosylation sites are present, no evidence of glycosylation has been reported. X-ray crystallography has revealed that TGM2 has four domains: an N-terminal β-sandwich domain (1-139), a transamidation core domain (140-454), and two C-terminal β-barrels (479-585 and 586-687, respectively)(Figure1). All four domains have particular roles. For example, the N-terminal domain interacts with fibronectin (Collighan RJ and Griffin M, 2009). The transamidation core domain is involved in GTP binding (Ser171 and Lys173), has an active triad site (Cys277, His335, and Asp358), and a calcium binding region. The C-terminal domain regulates transamidation activity, GTPase activity, as well as concealing the active site from contact with possible substrates. Upon calcium binding, the interaction between the active site and C-terminal domains is released, allowing transamidation enzyme activity.
