About PAD4
Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase type-4 (PAD4) is an enzyme that converts protein arginine or mono-methylarginine to citrulline. The PAD4-mediated hypercitrullination reaction in neutrophils causes the release of nuclear chromatin to form a chromatin network termed Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs). NETs have been shown to be associated with several pathological processes including cancer metastasis, fibrosis, ischemic stroke, preeclampsia, thrombosis and other autoimmune diseases. Jubliant Therapeutics Inc. is targeting PAD4 inhibition as a novel strategy to treat cancer progression & metastasis and autoimmune diseases without inducing immunosuppression as seen with most other agents approved for autoimmune diseases.
