Tgm1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within animal organ morphogenesis. Located in adherens junction. Is expressed in alimentary system; epithelium; and skin. Used to study autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 1. Orthologous to human TGM1 (transglutaminase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Tgm1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
