Target Details for ARG2

Target: ARG2 (Arginase, Type II (ARG2))

Alternative Name: Arg2

Background: Arginase, type II encodes a 355-amino acid polypeptide. Using Northern blotting and RT-PCR, Vockley et al.(1996) found that ARG2 is expressed as a 1.5-kb mRNA in a wide variety of tissues, with highest levels of expression in prostate, brain, and kidney. ARG2 may be inducible and may be essential in the regulation of nitric oxide synthesis by modulating local arginine concentrations. Gotoh et al.(1996) showed that ARG2 mRNA and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) mRNA were coinduced by lipopolysaccharide in a macrophage-like cell line. Arginase II has been implicated in the regulation of the arginine/ornithine concentrations in the cell. The mitochondrial location of the protein and its coinduction with ornithine aminotransferase and involvement with proline biosynthesis in lactating rat mammary gland had led to the inference that it is involved in biosynthetic functions, as opposed to the metabolic ones of the urea cycle.
