Function
Has cytotoxic activity: is able to induce apoptosis independently of its acyltransferase activity.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm, perinuclear region
Disease Association: [TGM2 constitutes the major autoantigen in celiac disease, a multifactorial chronic disorder of the small intestine caused by intolerance to gluten. Celiac disease is characterized by immune-mediated enteropathy associated with failed intestinal absorption and malnutrition: intestinal inflammation is precipitated by ingestion of the protein gliadin, a component of wheat gluten in the diet. TGM2 is the main target for celiac disease-associated anti-endomysium autoantibodies. It mediates its effect by catalyzing specific deamidation of gliadin; this deamidation creates an epitope that binds efficiently to HLA-DQ2 and is recognized by gut-derived T-cells ]
