Abstract Transglutaminase is an enzyme that catalyzes covalent cross-link formation and promotes polymerization of proteins through intermolecular-ε(γ-glutamyl)lysine cross-links. Source, chemical property, functional mechanism of transglutaminase and it′s application on meat processing were reviewed in this paper. Bioavailability of products catalyzed by transglutaminase is also discussed.
