Disease relevance of Arg2

  • Reduction of arginase I in BDL livers may be responsible for the lowering of arginine levels in the plasma, while induction of arginase II could be important in regulating NO synthesis as well as other important mechanisms involved in liver cirrhosis [1].
  • These data demonstrate loss of constitutive expression of arginase II in rat lung as iNOS is upregulated by the response to sepsis [2].
