Background:  Tissue transglutaminase is a calcium activated enzyme which catalyzes the cross linking of proteins and the conjugation of polyamines to proteins. The identification of transglutaminase as the main antigen of endomysium antibodies allows a new diagnostic approach to celiac disease (CD). CD, a genetic, immunologically mediated small bowel enteropathy that causes malabsorption, is a relatively common disorder in Western countries.
