Protein arginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) catalyzes the conversion of arginine residues to citrulline within cellular protein substrates, resulting in the loss of a positive charge, which can alter protein structure and/or function.{45610} It is composed of an ?/? propeller domain, an IgG1 domain that contains calcium binding sites, and an IgG2 domain. PAD2 changes conformation upon calcium binding to the IgG1 domain, which activates PAD2 and allows its substrates to bind.{28155} It is ubiquitously expressed with high expression in the brain, spleen, muscle, and spinal cord and is localized primarily to the cytoplasm but can translocate to the nucleus in response to calcium signaling.{45610,59298,60609,60610} PAD2 citrullinates non-histone proteins, such as glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP), myelin basic protein (MBP), and retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor ? (ROR?), as well as histone H3 at arginine 26 (H3R26), to regulate diverse processes ranging from myelination to immune function.{59298} PADI2, the gene encoding PAD2, is highly expressed in tumors from patients with breast cancer and associated with poor prognosis. It is also overexpressed in a variety of other cancers, including castration-resistant prostate, ovarian, and lung cancers, among others. PAD2 has been found in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and anti-PAD2 antibodies are associated with less severe RA than patients with autoantibodies to PAD4.{60609} Cayman’s PAD2 Polyclonal Antibody can be used for ELISA and Western blot (WB) applications. The antibody recognizes PAD2 at approximately 77 kDa from human samples.

Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
