enterocyte | isoform transglutaminase 2, both in patients with coeliac disease and controls. Enzyme is localized to subepithelial layer, lamina propria, and the pericryptal connective issue of all samples. It also binds to surface enterocytes of most untreated, but of few treated, coeliac patients, and shows no epithelial distribution in controls | Homo sapiens | - |
