Transglutaminase (TG) is a natural enzyme (protein) that is widely distributed in nature. There is transglutaminase of animal origin (used in medicine) and transglutaminase of bacterial origin. Our NewBind transglutaminase is obtained by a fermentation process of the bacterium Streptomyces mobaraensis. The TG catalyzes the cross-linking of the amino acids lysine and glutamine. This bond is thermostable and physically resistant to stress. The NewBind transglutaminase is not part of the binding and has no function in the final product.
