MeSH Heading: Protein-Arginine Deiminases
Tree Number(s): D08.811.277.721
Unique ID: D000076342
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000076342
Scope Note: A family of ENZYMES that, in the presence of calcium ion, converts ARGININE to CITRULLINE in proteins. There are five PAD isotypes in mammals. In humans: they include PAD1, 2, 3, 4 and 6. They are encoded by five paralogous genes named PADI and clustered on human chromosome 1.
Entry Term(s): Peptidylarginine Deiminase; Peptidylarginine Deiminases; Protein-Arginine Deiminase; Protein-L-Arginine Iminohydrolase; Protein-L-Arginine Iminohydrolases
