Transglutaminase activation in neurodegenerative diseases.
The following review examines the role of calcium in promoting the in vitro and in vivo activation of transglutaminases in neurodegenerative disorders. Diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease exhibit increased transglutaminase activity and rises in intracellular calcium concentrations, which may be related. The aberrant activation of transglutaminase b...
متن کاملTransglutaminase is linked to neurodegenerative diseases.
Transglutaminase catalyzes a covalent bond between peptide-bound glutamine residues and either lysine-bound peptide residues or mono- or polyamines. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that transglutaminase is involved in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, Huntington disease (HD), and Parkinson disease. In all of the neurodegenerative diseases...
متن کاملNew insight into transglutaminase 2 and link to neurodegenerative diseases
Formation of toxic protein aggregates is a common feature and mainly contributes to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), which include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and prion diseases. The transglutaminase 2 (TG2) gene encodes a multifunctional enzyme, displaying four types of activity, such as transamidation, GTPase, protein disu...
متن کاملp110: driving and neurodegenerative diseases
the proportion of elderly in the general population is rising, resulting in greater numbers of drivers with neurodegenerative disorders such as alzheimer’s disease (ad) and parkinson’s disease (pd). alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder typified by memory impairment with executive dysfunction, motor problems, and/or language difficulties. parkinson’s disease is a progr...
