GlossaryTransglutaminase 3

enzyme crucial for skin and hair protein cross-linking

Transglutaminase 3 (TGM3) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of the outer layer of the skin and hair follicles. It helps in the cross-linking of proteins, which strengthens the structural integrity of these tissues. Deficiencies or malfunctions in TGM3 can lead to skin disorders and hair loss conditions.
