The protein arginine deiminase (PAD) family of proteins are often referred to as peptidylarginine deiminases. They catalyze the deimination of arginine residues of proteins. In the presence of calcium, the proteins in the PAD family act as catalysts for the posttranslational modification reaction that converts methylarginine to citrulline. The PAD proteins are cytoplasmic proteins primarily detected in eosinophils and neutrophils. The gene encoding for PADI4 is believed to be a rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility locus. By increasing the citrullination of proteins in rheumatoid arthritis synovial tissues, it may play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease.
