Citrullinated vimentin (G146R) (R144 + R146) (139-159)-biotin peptide is a biotinylated version of a di-citrullinated form of a mutant isoform of the cytoskeleton intermediate filament protein vimentin, vimentinG146R, which has been found in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.{55252} Vimentin is subject to citrullination by peptidyl arginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) under high calcium concentrations, which can occur during macrophage apoptosis.{64643,31884} Serum levels of immune complexes targeting citrullinated vimentin are increased in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and positive for anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs).{66176} Serum and plasma levels of citrullinated vimentin are also increased in patients with lung cancer or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, respectively.{35094,35741} Cayman’s Citrullinated Vimentin (G146R) (R144 + R146) (139-159)-biotin Peptide is intended for use in the detection of autoantibodies against vimentinG146R citrullinated at R144 and R146.
