NAME        Protein-arginine deiminase
CLASS       Hydrolases
            Acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds, other than peptide bonds
            In linear amidines
SYSNAME     Protein-L-arginine iminohydrolase
REACTION    Protein arginine + H2O = Protein L-citrulline + NH3
SUBSTRATE   Protein arginine
            H2O
            N-Acyl-L-arginine
            L-Arginine ester
PRODUCT     Protein L-citrulline
            NH3
            N-Acyl-L-citrulline
            L-Citrulline ester
COMMENT     Also acts on N-acyl-L-arginine and, more slowly, on L-arginine
            esters.
