Background :
Celiac disease is an enteropathy that is characterized by intestinal lesions of variable severity. Tissue-type transglutaminase (tTG) is believed to be the predominant autoantigen for celiac disease and the corresponding autoantibodies show higher sensitivity and specificity than anti-gliadin antibodies. Highly pure recombinant human tTG is now available to replace the traditionally used tTG fraction from guinea pig.
Tissue-type transglutaminase antigens have been specifically modified for improved handling: exchange of an active site amino acid eliminates the protein cross-linking activity of the enzyme, while maintaining the native three-dimensional structure and the enzyme's secondary GTPase activity. This engineering assures reproducible properties of the antigen preparations through the absence of variable and ill-defined covalent aggregates of tTG antigen and host cell proteins.
Description :
Recombinant Human Tissue Transglutaminase produced in SF9 is a glycosylated, polypeptide chain having a molecular mass of 78,018 dalton.
rHutTG is expressed with a -6xHis tag and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
By point mutation of the active center the catalytic transglutaminase activity has been eliminated, resulting in increased stability during storage and coating.
Physical Appearance:
Sterile Filtered clear soultion.
