Transglutaminase inhibition: possible therapeutic mechanisms to protect cells from death in neurological disorders
Transglutaminases are a family of Ca<sup>2+</sup>-dependent enzymes which catalyze post-translational modifications of proteins. The main activity of these enzymes is the cross-linking of glutaminyl residues of a protein/peptide substrate to lysyl residues of a protein/peptide co-substra...
