General description

Deimination (citrullination) is a post translational modification in which the peptidyl-arginine deiminase family of enzymes convert the guanidino side chain of the amino acid arginine into a ureido group, yeilding peptidyl-citrulline. As a result, anti-peptidyl-citrulline antibodies should also cross react with peptidyl-homocitrulline, produced by the carbamylation of lysine, but not free citrulline, which is created in the urea cycle, or as a by-product of nitric oxide synthesis.

Immunogen

Citrullinated peptide consisting of 10 citrulline residues and a carboxyl Gly-Gly-Cys.
