A family of calcium-dependent enzymes known as Protein Arginine Deiminase (PAD) is able to catalyze the conversion of arginine residues into citrulline. Numerous pathological diseases, including inflammation and autoimmune disorders, are caused by this chemical reaction, which also causes the formation of citrullinated proteins with altered structure and function. These pathologies made the PADs viable therapeutic targets, and several PAD inhibitors are currently available.
Five PADs, known as PADs 1-4 and PAD6, are encoded by humans. Only four (PADs1-4) of the five PAD isozymes (PADs1, 2, 3, 4, and 6) are catalytically active. Ca2+ is a key regulator of PAD activity, and PADs have 4 (PAD1), 5 (PAD3), or 6 (PAD2) Ca2+-binding sites. Multiple inflammatory diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis) and cancer are linked to dysregulated PAD activity, and PAD inhibitors like Cl-amidine and BB-Cl-amidine are effective in a variety of preclinical animal disease models.
