In differentiating keratinocytes, TG1 (keratinocyte-type) is crucial for the cross-linking of substrate proteins required for the complete formation of the cornified envelop, a proteinaceous supermolecule located in the outermost layer of the epidermis. TG1 expressions and its substrate were induced in cultured keratinocytes at differentiation-stage specific manner. In the cultured keratinocytes, we used the TG1-specific substrate peptide, which enables the specific detection of enzymatic activity to investigate its induction patterns. As a further application of the substrate peptide, several substrate candidates of TG1 that may be essential for cornified envelope formation were identified and characterized.}, pages = {343--348}, title = {Analysis on transglutaminase 1 and its substrates using specific substrate peptide in cultured keratinocytes}, volume = {478}, year = {2016} }
