Immunological similarities between cytosolic and particulate tissue transglutaminase.
At the present time it is uncertain whether or not the cytosolic and particulate forms of tissue transglutaminase are distinct and discrete enzymes. In this study a number of physical and immunological similarities between the two forms are demonstrated, indicating that they share some common epitopes, although their native confirmations may differ.
