Arginase-1 (ARG1) protein, crucial in the urea cycle, converts L-arginine to urea and L-ornithine. ARG1 also regulates L-arginine levels outside the liver, impacting immune responses. ARG1's release by granulocytes suppresses T cell and NK cell functions. In ILC2s, ARG1 promotes lung inflammation. However, ARG1's role in human monocytic/macrophage/dendritic cells is unclear. Arginase-1/ARG1 Protein, Human (N-His) is the recombinant human-derived Arginase-1/ARG1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Description

Arginase-1 (ARG1) protein, crucial in the urea cycle, converts L-arginine to urea and L-ornithine. ARG1 also regulates L-arginine levels outside the liver, impacting immune responses. ARG1's release by granulocytes suppresses T cell and NK cell functions. In ILC2s, ARG1 promotes lung inflammation. However, ARG1's role in human monocytic/macrophage/dendritic cells is unclear. Arginase-1/ARG1 Protein, Human (N-His) is the recombinant human-derived Arginase-1/ARG1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.

Background

Arginase-1 (ARG1) protein is a crucial component of the urea cycle, facilitating the conversion of L-arginine to urea and L-ornithine. This cycle primarily occurs in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the kidneys. Beyond its role in nitrogen metabolism, ARG1 plays a pivotal role in L-arginine homeostasis in nonhepatic tissues, where it competes with nitric oxide synthase (NOS) for intracellular arginine, impacting innate and adaptive immune responses. The antimicrobial effector pathway in polymorphonuclear granulocytes involves ARG1, released upon cell death, which depletes arginine in the microenvironment, leading to suppressed T cell and natural killer (NK) cell proliferation and cytokine secretion. In group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), ARG1 promotes acute type 2 inflammation in the lung, influencing ILC2 proliferation. However, the precise immunological role of ARG1 in the monocytic/macrophage/dendritic cell lineage in humans remains uncertain.
