Gene: PADI6
Alternate names for this Gene: PREMBL2|hPADVI
Gene Summary: 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1p36.13
Description of this Gene: peptidyl arginine deiminase 6
Type of Gene: protein-coding
