Anti-Arginase-1 antibody, Rabbit monoclonal

Arginase 1 (ARG1) gene with eight exons and seven introns, spanning 10-15 kb on genomic DNA, is localized on human chromosome 6q23.2. The protein consists of 322 amino acids and is expressed in the liver, red blood cells, lactating mammalian glands and the kidney.

Arginase-1 (ARG1) catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-arginine into ornithine and urea, a critical step for the urea cycle. Defects in ARG1 are the cause of argininemia, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hyperammonemia. There are several isoforms of mammalian arginase. The type I isoform, is a cytosolic enzyme and expressed predominantly in the liver as a component of the urea cycle. Hepatocellular carcinoma usually shows higher protein expression of ARG1 than normal liver cells.

Synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminus of human arginase-1 protein.

In addition to urea cycle, arginase 1 (ARG1) is also implicated in various cellular processes, such as macrophage-mediated cytotoxicity and regulation of immune response. The encoded protein is also involved in allergen challenged lungs, in autoimmune inflammation in the central nervous system and in acute liver injury.
