    GlossaryTransglutaminase

    enzyme that cross-links proteins, crucial for hair strength

    Transglutaminase, often abbreviated as TGase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of covalent bonds between proteins, specifically by linking the amino acid glutamine to lysine. This process is crucial for various biological functions, including blood clotting, skin formation, and hair follicle development. In the context of hair, transglutaminase helps strengthen the hair shaft by cross-linking keratin proteins, contributing to hair's structural integrity and resilience.
