Structure of the murine arginase II gene

Mammalian Genome, 1998
Mammals contain two genes encoding distinct isoforms of arginase (arginases I and II), both of which catalyze the conversion of arginine to ornithine and urea. However, their subcellular localization and tissue-specific patterns of expression are very different, indicating that they perform distinct physiologic roles.

Downregulation of arginase II and renal apoptosis by inorganic mercury: overexpression of arginase II reduces its apoptosis

Archives of Toxicology, 2007
Inorganic mercury is a toxic metal that accumulates in the proximal tubules of the kidney, causing apoptosis. Arginase II is known to inhibit apoptosis, but its role in the renal apoptosis caused by inorganic mercury is poorly understood. In the present study, we examined the involvement of arginase II in inorganic mercury-dependent apoptosis. A single

Expression, Purification, and Characterization of Human Type II Arginase

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2001
Human type II arginase, which is extrahepatic and mitochondrial in location, catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to form ornithine and urea. While type I arginases function in the net production of urea for excretion of excess nitrogen, type II arginases are believed to function primarily in the net production of ornithine, a precursor of polyamines ...

Adaptations of amphibian arginase—II. Response to temperature

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1973
Abstract 1. 1. The effect of temperature on the kinetic properties (Michaelis constant and maximum velocity) and specific activity of Rana pipiens liver and kidney arginase and purified bovine arginase was studied. 2. 2. Winter R. pipiens were found to have lower kidney and liver arginase Michaelis constants than summer R.

Arginases I and II: do their functions overlap?

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2004
Arginase, often perceived solely as the last of the now six enzymes of the urea cycle, exists in two forms and has a broad tissue distribution. A cytosolic form, AI, is highly expressed in the liver and is thought to be primarily involved in ureagenesis.

Classical and Slow-Binding Inhibitors of Human Type II Arginase

Biochemistry, 2001
Arginases catalyze the hydrolysis of L-arginine to yield L-ornithine and urea. Recent studies indicate that arginases, both the type I and type II isozymes, participate in the regulation of nitric oxide production by modulating the availability of arginine for nitric oxide synthase.
