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.
Physical form
Solution in 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, containing 10 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 1 mM EDTA and 10% glycerol
Other Notes
One unit will produce 1 μmole of N-α-benzoylcitrulline ethyl ester from BAEE per hr at 55 °C at pH 7.2.

Citrullination, a posttranslational modification (PTM) recently discovered on inflammatory chemokines such as interleukin-8 (IL-8/CXCL8) and interferon-γ-inducible protein-10 (IP-10/CXCL10), seriously influences their biological activity. Citrullination or the deimination of arginine to citrulline is dependent on peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) and has been

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

The immune response to citrullinated peptides in the mucosa has been suggested to play an important role in the transition from pre-onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to clinically evident RA. Although there are reports indicating the presence of anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies

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
