• PAD, a growing family of citrullinating enzymes: genes, features and involvement in disease (2003, background): “linated proteins present in inflamed RA joints is extravascular citrullinated fibrin.((81)) In inflamed RA synovia the oxygen”
• A new model for an etiology of rheumatoid arthritis: smoking may trigger HLA-DR (shared epitope)-restricted immune reactions to autoantigens modified by citrullination. (2006, background): “So far, citrullinated fibrinogen and vimentin have both been shown to be present in RA joints and to be targets of anticitrulline antibodies from RA patients (33,34), but it is likely that citrullination also occurs in other proteins, which may become further targets for the autoimmune reactions.”
