Abstract
Tubulointerstitial fibrosis is the final common pathway of most progressive renal diseases, and also is the pathological basis that leading to chronic renal failure. In recent years, the biological effect of tissue transglutaminase in the progressive tubulointerstitium fibrosis attracts more and more attention. Tissue transglutaminase belongs to a group of calcium-dependent mammalian enzymes that have the capacity to irreversibly cross-link proteins through the formation of e (γ-glutamyl)lysine bonds, and lead to the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix, then functions markedly in the tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Key words: Tissue transglutaminase; Tubulointerstitial fibrosis
