Different molecular triggers induce PAD enzyme expression, as assessed by Western blot analysis. (a) PAD2 enzyme and (b) PAD4 enzyme graphs showing relatively lower levels of PAD2 and PAD4 enzymes induced by molecular triggers. Graphs were normalized by β-actin housekeeping protein. (c) Western blot of PAD2, PAD4, and β-actin.
