    GlossaryPeptidyl Arginine Deiminase Type 2 (PAD2)

    enzyme that converts arginine in proteins to citrulline

    Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase Type 2 (PADI2) is an enzyme that converts arginine residues in proteins into citrulline, a process known as citrullination. This modification can affect protein function and is involved in various physiological processes, including the regulation of gene expression and the immune response. PADI2 has been implicated in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and certain types of alopecia, where abnormal citrullination may play a role in disease pathology.
