Objective: Tissue transglutaminase (TGM2) up-regulation is involved in the progression and dissemination of carcinomas through 131 integrin (ITGB1) association. Given that TGM2 interaction with syndecan-4 (SDC4) on the cell surface is important in the activation of ITGB1 and integrin-mediated survival signaling, we investigated the roles of TG.M2. ITGB1, and SDC4 in the development and metastasis of renal cell carcinoma (RUC).
