General description

Arginase 1 (Arginase, liver) is a liver enzyme that completes the urea cycle in mammals by producing urea, which can be excreted, and L-ornithine through the hydrolysis of L-arginine. Defects in arginase 1 activity lead to a metabolic condition of hyperargininemia.

Specificity

Anti-ARG1 (AB2) antibody reacts with bovine, human, rabbit, pig, canine, mouse, and rat arginase-1 enzymes.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human ARG1

Application

Anti-ARG1 (AB2) antibody is used to tag arginase 1 proteins for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in cells and tissues by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to study the role of arginase-1 in the management of nitrogen balance within mammalian cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Arginase catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. The type I isoform of ARG1, is a cytosolic enzyme and expressed predominantly in the liver as a component of the urea cycle. Inherited deficiency of this enzyme results in argininemia, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hyperammonemia.Arginase catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. At least two isoforms of mammalian arginase exist (types I and II) which differ in their tissue distribution, subcellular localization, immunologic crossreactivity and physiologic function. The type I isoform encoded by this gene, is a cytosolic enzyme and expressed predominantly in the liver as a component of the urea cycle.

A proangiogenic function of tissue-infiltrating monocytes/macrophages has long been attributed to their matrix metalloproteinase-9 zymogen (proMMP-9). Herein, we evaluated the capacity of human monocytes, mature M0 macrophages, and M1- and M2-polarized macrophages to induce proMMP-9-mediated angiogenesis. Only M2 macrophages induced

Previous studies indicate a role of CDKN2A/2B/2BAS genes in atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Progression of these diseases is accompanied by T-cell imbalance and chronic inflammation. Our main objective was to investigate a potential association between CDKN2A/2B/2BAS gene
