| Type: | Repeat | Name: | Trappin protein transglutaminase-binding repeat |
| Description: | Trappin-2,a protease inhibitor, has a unique N-terminal domain that enables it to become cross-linked to extracellular matrix proteins by transglutaminase []. This domain contains several repeated motifs (rpresented by this entry) with the consensus sequence Gly-Gln-Asp-Pro-Val-Lys, and these together can anchor the whole molecule to extracellular matrix proteins, such as laminin, fibronectin, beta-crystallin, collagen IV, fibrinogen, and elastin, by transglutaminase-catalysed cross-links. The whole domain is rich in glutamine and lysine, thus allowing and transglutaminase(s) to catalyse the formation of an intermolecular epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl)lysine isopeptide bond []. Cementoin is associated with the WAP family, , at the C terminus. | Short Name: | Trappin_transglut-bd_rpt |
