Recombinant Human Arginase, Type II, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: ARG2-2576H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human ARG2, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed inE.coliand purified by using conventional chromatography. MW =38.3kDa(353aa).

Specification

• Cat. No.: ARG2-2576H
• Description: Arginase is a manganese-containing enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. It is the final enzyme of the urea cycle. At least two isoforms of mammalian arginase exist (types I and II) which differ in their tissue distribution, subcellular localization, immunologic cross-reactivity and physiologic function. The type II isoform is located in the mitochondria and expressed in extra-hepatic tissues, especially kidney. It is thought to play a role in nitric oxide and polyamine metabolism.
• Source: E.coli.
