OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the peptidyl arginine deiminase family of enzymes, which catalyze the post-translational deimination of proteins by converting arginine residues into citrullines in the presence of calcium ions. The family members have distinct substrate specificities and tissue-specific expression patterns. The type III enzyme modulates hair structural proteins, such as filaggrin in the hair follicle and trichohyalin in the inner root sheath, during hair follicle formation. Together with the type I enzyme, this enzyme may also play a role in terminal differentiation of the epidermis. This gene exists in a cluster with four other paralogous genes.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PADI3 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PADI3 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PADI3 could matter depends on whether native PADI3 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PADI3 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PADI3 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
