Protein-Glutamine Gamma-Glutamyltransferase 2

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase 2 (687 aa, ~77 kDa) is encoded by the human TGM2 gene. This protein plays a role in both the induction of apoptosis and the formation of covalent bonds between peptide-bound glutamine and various primary amines.
