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. This protein may play a role in cytoskeletal reorganization in the egg and in early embryo development. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2012]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PADI6 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PADI6 could matter depends on whether native PADI6 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PADI6 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 PADI6 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
