Arg1 - arginase, liver Gene
Also Known as AI; PGIF; Arg-1
Species: Mus musculus
Summary
Enables Arginase activity. Involved in defense response to protozoan; negative regulation of T-helper 2 cell cytokine production; and negative regulation of activated T cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including extracellular space; mitochondrial outer membrane; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study hyperargininemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; hepatocellular carcinoma; and hyperargininemia. Orthologous to human ARG1 (Arginase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
