... a hallmark of the aberrant immune response to gluten is production of antibody molecules targeted to an enzyme called tissue transglutaminase. This enzyme leaks out of damaged cells in inflamed areas of the small intestine and attempts to help heal the surrounding tissue. 1, record 1, English, - tissue%20transglutaminase

On sait que le système immunitaire se dérègle en présence de gluten et fabrique des anticorps dirigés à tort contre une enzyme : la transglutaminase tissulaire. En temps normal, cette enzyme quitte les cellules endommagées dans les zones enflammées de l'intestin grêle et participe à la cicatrisation du tissu environnant. 1, record 1, French, - transglutaminase%20tissulaire

Trichohyalin used in conjunction with transglutiminase forms a naturally-occurring proteinaceous gel with potential application in the areas of food production/stabilization, cosmetics and coverage for open wounds and burns. We have demonstrated that, using cloned cDNAs, the combination of human trichohyalin with an enzyme that is capable of cross-linking proteins can produce a stable, quickly-formed proteinaceous gel. This technology may be useful for the treatment of skin diseases may have benefit as a transglutaminase replacement therapy. [Source Internet]. 1, record 2, English, - transglutaminase
