Protein-Arginine Deiminase Type 1 MeSH Descriptor Data 2025


MeSH Heading
Protein-Arginine Deiminase Type 1
Tree Number(s)
D08.811.277.721.250
Unique ID
D000080062
RDF Unique Identifier

Scope Note
A peptidylarginine deiminase isoenzyme. It is a post-translational modification enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of protein-bound ARGININE residues to CITRULLINE residues in a CALCIUM ion-dependent manner. It functions within the epidermis, targeting INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS; KERATINS; and filaggrin for CITRULLINATION to promote epidermal cornification.
