ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a 1.9 kb cDNA and new tissue transglutaminase protein encoded thereby. The cDNA was obtained from reverse transcription of mRNA isolated from retinoic-acid treated HEL cells. The invention also relates to vectors and expression systems to produce the new tissue transglutaminase as well as the recombinantly-produced enzyme protein.
