NCIt synonyms : PDI5; PAD; PDI4; PAD4; PADI5; Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase, Type IV wt Allele; Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase, Type V Gene;
NCIt definition : Human PADI4 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p36.13 and is approximately
56 kb in length. This allele, which encodes protein-arginine deiminase type-4 protein,
plays a role in the post-translational protein modification. Mutation of the gene
is associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis.;
