A family of seven transmembrane helices fused to an inactive transglutaminase domain. The transglutaminase domain is predicted to be extracellularly located. Members of this family are associated in gene neighborhoods with a pepsin-like peptidase and an ATP-grasp of the RimK-family. The ATP-grasp is predicted to modify the 7TM protein or a cofactor that interacts with it [1].
