Novel interactions of TG2 with heparan sulfate proteoglycans: reflection on physiological implications
2009
This mini-review brings together information from publications and recent conference proceedings that have shed light on the biological interaction between transglutaminase-2 and heparan sulphate proteoglycans. We subsequently draw hypotheses of possible implications in the wound healing process. There is a substantial overlap in the action of transglutaminase-2 and the heparan sulphate proteoglycan syndecan-4 in normal and abnormal wound repair. Our latest findings have identified syndecan-4 as a possible binding and signalling partner of fibronectin-bound TG2 and support the idea that transglutaminase-2 and syndecan-4 act in synergy.
