“In MS citrullination is the most studied PTM^([post-translational modification]) from those listed in Table 6.1.”
“2019, Shuzheng Song, Yingyan Yu, Progression on Citrullination of Proteins in Gastrointestinal Cancers, Zhe-Sheng Chen, Jian-ye Zhang, Yunkai Zhang, Yan-yan Yan (editors), Targeted Cancer Therapies, From Small Molecules to Antibodies, Frontiers Media, page 162, The exact effect of citrullination of proteins on cancer should be studied further. Citrullination of proteins is not only detected in in vitro experiments, but also in human blood.”
