{"symbol":"TGM5","synonyms":["TGASE5","TGMX","TGX","TGASEX","TGM6"],"name":"transglutaminase 5","description":"This gene encodes a member of the transglutaminase family. The encoded protein catalyzes formation of protein cross-links between glutamine and lysine residues, often resulting in stabilization of protein assemblies. This reaction is calcium dependent. Mutations in this gene have been associated with acral peeling skin syndrome.
