Anti-ARG1

Liver arginase(Arginase-1) belongs to the arginase family. Hepatic arginase 1 is closely associated with alternative macrophage activation(PMID:12098359) and Arg1 has been shown to protectmotor neurons from trophic factor deprivation and allow sensory neurons to overcome neurite outgrowth inhibition by myelin proteins(PMID: 20071539).It can exsit as a homotrimer(PMID:16141327) and it has 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing.Defects in ARG1 are the cause of argininemia (ARGIN). Protein function: Key element of the urea cycle converting L-arginine to urea and L-ornithine, which is further metabolized into metabolites proline and polyamides that drive collagen synthesis and bioenergetic pathways critical for cell proliferation, respectively, the urea cycle takes place primarily in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the kidneys.
