TGM4

Chr 3

transglutaminase 4

Also known as: TGP, hTGP

The protein catalyzes cross-linking of proteins and conjugation of polyamines to specific proteins, primarily functioning in the male reproductive tract. Mutations in this gene have not been established to cause any recognized human genetic diseases. The gene shows very low constraint against loss-of-function variants, indicating tolerance to complete gene loss.
