==Molecular biology==

The human gene is found on the short arm of Chromosome 1 near the telomere (1p36.13). It is located on the Watson (plus) strand and is 55,806 bases long. The protein is 663 amino acids long with a molecular weight of 74,095 Da.<ref name="pmid10488123"/>

== Function ==

This gene is a member of a gene family which encodes enzymes responsible for the conversion of arginine to citrulline residues (citrullination). This gene may play a role in granulocyte and macrophage development leading to inflammation and immune response.<ref name="entrez"/> PADI4 plays a role in the epigenetics,<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Sams KL, Mukai C, Marks BA, Mittal C, Demeter EA, Nelissen S, Grenier JK, Tate AE, Ahmed F, Coonrod SA | display-authors = 6 | title = Delayed puberty, gonadotropin abnormalities and subfertility in male Padi2/Padi4 double knockout mice | journal = Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology | volume = 20 | issue = 1 | pages = 150 | date = October 2022 | pmid = 36224627 | doi = 10.1186/s12958-022-01018-w | pmc = 9555066 | doi-access = free }}</ref> the deimination of arginines on histones H3 and H4 can act antagonistically to arginine methylation.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Kouzarides T | title = Chromatin modifications and their function | journal = Cell | volume = 128 | issue = 4 | pages = 693–705 | date = February 2007 | pmid = 17320507 | doi = 10.1016/j.cell.2007.02.005 | doi-access = free }}</ref>

The protein may be found in oligomers and binds 5 calcium ions per subunit. It catalyses the reaction:

* Protein <small>L</small>-arginine + H₂O = protein <small>L</small>-citrulline + NH₄⁺

== Subcellular and tissue distribution ==

It is normally found in the cytoplasm, nucleus and in cytoplasmic granules of eosinophils and neutrophils. It is not expressed in peripheral monocytes or lymphocytes. It is also expressed in rheumatoid arthritis synovial tissues.
