General description

The amino acid Citrulline is required to detoxify the liver from ammonia, which is a waste product of the body from oxidation. Citrulline promotes energy and assists with the immune system. This unusual amino acid is formed in the urea cycle by the addition of carbon dioxide and ammonia to ornithine. It is then combined with aspartic acid to form arginosuccinic acid, which later is metabolized into the amino acid arginine.

Specificity

Multiple deiminated keratins in human cornified skin. Thought to react preferentially with citrulline residues in glycine rich contexts.

Immunogen

Linear peptide containing Citrulline.

Application

Detect Citrulline with Anti-Citrulline Antibody (Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody), that has been shown to work in WB & IHC.

Thrombopoietic cells may differentially promote or inhibit tissue vascularization by releasing both pro- and antiangiogenic factors. However, the molecular determinants controlling the angiogenic phenotype of thrombopoietic cells remain unknown. Here, we show that expression and release of thrombospondins (TSPs) by

The final step of keratinocyte differentiation, transition from the granular cells to the cornified cells, involves various post-translational modifications that include deimination of arginine residues. Major deiminated epidermal proteins are derived from K1. Two preferred deimination sites were identified in

Citrulline residues are detected in keratins and filaggrin in the cornified layers of mammalian epidermis. Such citrulline residues are formed by the enzymatic deimination of arginine residues by peptidylarginine deiminases (EC 3.5.3.15). Major deiminated keratins are derived from keratin K1.

Citrulline-containing proteins, mainly originating from keratin K1 and formed by enzymatic deimination of arginine residues, have been identified in the cornified layers of human epidermis. We analyzed the localization and nature of the deiminated proteins in psoriatic epidermis. Immunostaining based

The upper layers of mammalian epidermis contain citrulline-containing proteins formed by enzymatic deimination of arginine residues. To study the role of protein deimination in epidermal differentiation, we identified deiminated proteins extracted from human epidermis. Major deiminated proteins were identified as
