Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables protein-arginine deiminase activity. Involved in embryonic cleavage. Acts upstream of or within cytoplasm organization; cytoskeleton organization; and regulation of translation by machinery localization. Located in cortical granule and intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Is expressed in early embryo; ileum; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human PADI6 (peptidyl arginine deiminase 6).
