Fungal transglutaminase domain–containing proteins are involved in hyphal protection at the septal pore against wounding
MAA Mamun, J Maruyama - Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2023 - Am Soc Cell Biol
Transglutaminase (TG) is a ubiquitous enzyme that crosslinks substrates. In humans, TG
participates in blood clotting and wound healing. However, the functions related to the …
