The transamidation activity of TGM2 has been implicated in apoptosis by interacting with BAX (Rodolfo et al., 2004) or cross-linking CASP3/Caspase 3 and RB1/pRB to inhibit apoptosis (Boehm et al., 2002; Oliverio et al., 1997; Yamaguchi and Wang, 2006) in various cancer cell lines. The gene discussed is BAX; the disease is cancer.
