transglutaminase 2, C polypeptide

Gene Summary

Enables protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase activity. Involved in intracellular calcium ion homeostasis; positive regulation of cell adhesion; and regulation of apoptotic cell clearance. Acts upstream of or within branching involved in salivary gland morphogenesis and salivary gland cavitation. Located in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; bone; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study maturity-onset diabetes of the young. Orthologous to human TGM2 (transglutaminase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
