Padi2 - peptidyl arginine deiminase, type II

Predicted to enable several functions, including estrogen receptor binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and protein-arginine deiminase activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Predicted to be located in transcriptionally active chromatin. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including Harderian gland; brain; early embryo; major salivary gland; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human PADI2 (peptidyl arginine deiminase 2).
