Abstract

Transglutaminases are a class of catalytic enzymes that catalyze the creation of a covalent link between a free amine group of a protein- or acyl acceptor (lysine) and a gamma-carboxamide group of a protein- or acyl donor (glutamine). This causes the alteration of proteins through intramolecular or intermolecular pass-linking, increasing the protein's ability to function. Transglutaminase had a lot of attention in recent years due to its wide range of uses in industries like food science, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. Production of transglutaminase started to play a significant role. The production methods, significance, and uses of transglutaminase in numerous new sectors are outlined in this article. We also discuss how to effectively use fish waste meals in media optimization to boost the production of transglutaminase as well as the effects of fish waste on the environment.
