title: Plant transglutaminases.
abstract: The identification procedures, the characteristics and the potential function of the recently detected plant transglutaminases, are discussed in the light of the knowledge of animal transglutaminases. The enzyme has been studied occasionally in lower organisms (bacteria, fungi and green algae) and more extensively in Angiosperms.
