Autocitrullination confers monocyte chemotactic properties to peptidylarginine deiminase 4 [PDF]
Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) contributes to the production of citrullinated proteins as autoantigens for anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). PAD4 can also self-deiminate via autocitrullination.

Peptidylarginine deiminase 4-mediated citrullination in human disease: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic targeting [PDF]
Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) is a calcium-dependent enzyme that catalyzes protein citrullination, a post-translational modification that can alter protein charge, conformation, and function. Among the mammalian peptidylarginine deiminase isoforms,

Anti-peptidylarginine deiminase-4 antibodies at mucosal sites can activate peptidylarginine deiminase-4 enzyme activity in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Background Mucosal sites are hypothesized to play a role in the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Since serum anti-peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD)4 antibodies, including a subset that cross-react with PAD3 (PAD3/4), are specific for RA and ...

Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 deficiency alleviates hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced cardiomyocyte injury. [PDF]
BackgroundCardiac ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury is a serious consequence of reperfusion therapy for myocardial infarction (MI). Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) is a calcium-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the citrullination of proteins.
