General description
Peptidyl arginine deiminase is the enzyme that converts arginine into citrulline.
Application
Peptidyl arginine deiminase has been used in a study that assessed promising novel biomarkers for the early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. It has also been used in a study to investigate the autopathogenic correlation of periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Calcium is required for peptidylarginine deiminase activity in vitro.
Unit Definition
One unit will produce 1 μmole of N-α-benzoylcitrulline ethyl ester from BAEE per hr at 55 °C at pH 7.2.
Physical form
Solution in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, containing 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM EDTA and 10% glycerol

Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation promotes vascular damage, thrombosis, and activation of interferon-α-producing plasmacytoid dendritic cells in diseased arteries. Peptidylarginine deiminase inhibition is a strategy that can decrease in vivo NET formation. To test whether peptidylarginine deiminase inhibition, a novel

Citrullination is the post-translational conversion of an arginine residue within a protein to the non-coded amino acid citrulline. This modification leads to the loss of a positive charge and reduction in hydrogen-bonding ability. It is carried out by a small

Peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes catalyze the conversion of arginine residues in proteins to citrulline residues. Citrulline is a non-standard amino acid that is not incorporated in proteins during translation, but can be generated post-translationally by the PAD enzymes. Although the
