Epidermal transglutaminase (TGase) is known to catalyse cross-linking of several precursor proteins in the formation of cornified cell envelope at the terminal differentiation of keratinocytes. Expression of TGase activity was studied using an in situ TGase activity assay in human fetal skin samples
Lamellar ichthyosis (LI) is an autosomal recessive keratinization disorder of the skin. Genetic heterogeneity has been shown for the disease and there is evidence for the involvement of the transglutaminase 1 (TGM1) gene on chromosome 14q11. We have previously identiยฎed chromosome 14q11 haplotypes a
To explore the function of the enzyme transglutaminase 1 (TGase 1), its distribution was analysed by immunofluorescence microscopy, postembedding immunoelectron microscopy and in situ hybridization. TGase 1 was expressed in the outer root sheath (ORS) cells in the distal portion of the isthmus and i
