Functional role of dimerization of human peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4).

Peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) is a homodimeric enzyme that catalyzes Ca²⁺-dependent protein citrullination, which results in the conversion of arginine to citrulline. This paper demonstrates the functional role of dimerization in the regulation of PAD4 activity. To address this question, we cr...
