Abstract excerpt
Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) are enzymes that convert arginine to citrulline in proteins. In this study, we examined PAD-mediated citrullination and its effect on pro-inflammatory activity in the macrophage cell line RAW 264.7. Citrullination of 45-65-kDa proteins was induced when cells wer...
