Figure 6

Bovine TAFI is a substrate for transglutaminases. Bovine TAFI (2 μg) was incubated with increasing amounts of tissue transglutaminase (TG), in the presence of the fluorescent donor, dansylcadaverine. The reaction products were separated by SDS-PAGE and visualized under UV light. Human TAFI (2 μg) and α2-antiplasmin (2 μg) served as a controls. Note the clear incorporation of dansylcadavarine into bovine TAFI, suggesting that it contains amine acceptor sites and functions as a substrate for transglutaminases.
