Summary
Predicted to enable protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within mating plug formation. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in anterior prostate gland; prostate gland dorsolateral lobe; and ventral prostate gland. Orthologous to human TGM4 (transglutaminase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

  4. The androgen-dependent SVS I is exclusively expressed in the luminal epithelium of seminal vesicle; Gln232 and Gln254 are the major TG4-reactive residues on SVS I and and TG4 is much stronger than TG2 to cross-link the glutamine residues in SVS I.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
