June 1993 in “Journal of Biological Chemistry” This study found that mouse and human protransglutaminase 3 enzymes require calcium-regulated activation for their role in later stages of cell envelope formation in the epidermis and hair follicle.
4 citations
,
April 2014 in “Lasers in Surgery and Medicine” This observational study reports that a TRASER device using specific wavelengths for vascular and follicular targets showed both clinical responses and histological changes, suggesting its potential as an effective vascular and hair removal tool.

,
October 1997 in “Journal of biological chemistry/The Journal of biological chemistry” This study suggests that trichohyalin is modified by peptidyl-arginine deiminase before being cross-linked by TGase 3, allowing the formation of rigid structures in hair follicle cells.
35 citations
,
July 2010 in “The FEBS journal” In this study, researchers identified a highly reactive, isozyme-specific sequence for TGase 3, contributing to understanding its distinct functional role and activity distribution in the mouse epidermis.
30 citations
,
August 2008 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study suggests that TGase 3 may contribute to hair fiber scaffolding by forming specific isopeptide bonds between keratin intermediate filaments and keratin-associated proteins.
