Description: Arginase converts arginine into urea plus ornithine, the final step in urea synthesis. Two different isoforms (I&II) have been isolated with approximately 60% homology at the nucleotide level. While type II is present in many tissues, Arginase I is expressed exclusively in liver. In cultured macrophages, as well as in vivo, Arginase I is induced with nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and the arginase I transactivator C/EBPbeta in response to lipopolysaccharide. This response occurs in a dose and time-dependent manner. While the mRNA for NOS appears as early as 2h after treatment, mRNA levels for arginase I peak after twelve hours of lipopolysaccharide treatment. Since the synthesis of nitric oxide by NOS requires arginine, the delayed induction of arginase I may be necessary for the regulation of NOS activity. This antibody is routinely tested by western blot analysis.

Characteristics: 1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2. Please refer to us for technical protocols.
3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
4. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
