TRANSGLUTAMINASE 1 (TGM1 or TGK) is a membrane-associated enzyme involved in the formation of the cornified cell envelope of the EPIDERMIS; Mutations in the human gene (14q11) cause autosomal recessive lamellar ICHTHYOSIS; Distinguish from GAMMA-GLUTAMYLTRANSPEPTIDASE involved with glutathione metabolism and other protein cross-linking transglutaminase; RefSeq NM_019984 (mouse), NM_031659 (rat), NM_000359 (human)
