Description : Arginase catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. At least two isoforms of mammalian arginase exist (types I and II) which differ in their tissue distribution, subcellular localization, immunologic crossreactivity and physiologic function. The type I isoform encoded by this gene, is a cytosolic enzyme and expressed predominantly in the liver as a component of the urea cycle. Inherited deficiency of this enzyme results in argininemia, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hyperammonemia. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Q&As (17)

Ask a question
Is there any link between ARG1 and metabolic disorders? 08/26/2022

Yes, there is evidence linking ARG1 to metabolic disorders. Argininemia, a disorder caused by ARG1 deficiency, is characterized by disturbances in arginine metabolism. Additionally, dysregulated ARG1 activity has been observed in conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). ARG1-mediated alterations in arginine metabolism can impact nitric oxide production, urea cycle function, and other pathways involved in metabolic regulation.

Are there any natural substances or dietary factors that can affect ARG1 activity? 04/23/2022

Yes, certain natural substances and dietary factors have been shown to modulate ARG1 activity. For instance, polyphenols found in fruits and vegetables, such as quercetin and resveratrol, have been reported to inhibit ARG1 activity. Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids, present in fish oils, have been found to reduce ARG1 expression and activity in certain tissues.

Is there any relationship between the ARG1 protein and brain health or neurological disorders? 02/20/2022

Although the primary role of ARG1 is in arginine metabolism and urea production, studies have suggested potential links between ARG1 and brain health. For example, alterations in the arginine-ornithine-urea pathway have been observed in disorders like Alzheimer's disease, suggesting a possible involvement of ARG1. However, the mechanisms and implications of ARG1 in brain function and neurological disorders are still being explored.

Are there any known mutations in the ARG1 gene associated with human diseases? 05/23/2020

Yes, mutations in the ARG1 gene can lead to a rare genetic disorder called argininemia. Argininemia is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the accumulation of arginine in the blood and tissues due to a deficiency of ARG1 activity. It can cause symptoms such as developmental delay, intellectual disability, seizures, and progressive neurological deterioration.

Is ARG1 associated with any other physiological processes or diseases? 05/11/2020

ARG1 has been implicated in various physiological processes beyond arginine metabolism and the urea cycle. It is involved in wound healing and tissue repair, where it promotes collagen production and fibroblast proliferation. Additionally, ARG1 has been linked to conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where increased ARG1 activity in the lungs may contribute to airway constriction and respiratory symptoms.

Are there any diseases associated with abnormal ARG1 activity? 01/17/2020

Yes, there are diseases associated with abnormal ARG1 activity. Argininemia is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency of ARG1 activity, leading to the accumulation of arginine in the blood and tissues. This can cause neurological impairments, developmental delays, and other symptoms. Additionally, altered ARG1 expression or activity has been implicated in conditions such as asthma, allergic inflammation, and certain types of cancer.

Can the function of the ARG1 protein be inhibited or blocked? 10/03/2019

Yes, the function of ARG1 can be inhibited or blocked using specific inhibitors. Some compounds, such as Nω-hydroxy-L-arginine (NOHA) and S-(2-boronoethyl)-L-cysteine (BEC), have been found to selectively inhibit ARG1 activity. These inhibitors can be useful in studying the biological role of ARG1 and developing potential therapeutic strategies.

Can variations in the ARG1 gene affect its activity or function? 09/05/2019

Yes, genetic variations or mutations in the ARG1 gene can alter its activity or function. In argininemia, for instance, mutations in the ARG1 gene lead to reduced or absent ARG1 activity, resulting in the accumulation of arginine. Similarly, other genetic variations may affect ARG1 expression levels, enzymatic activity, or stability, potentially influencing its role in various physiological processes and disease conditions.

Can ARG1 activity be targeted for therapeutic interventions? 08/27/2019

Yes, ARG1 activity can be targeted for therapeutic interventions. In certain diseases, such as cancer and immune-mediated disorders, inhibiting ARG1 can be beneficial. By blocking ARG1 activity, the depletion of arginine can be prevented, allowing for enhanced T cell function and immune responses. Additionally, targeting ARG1 in MDSCs can alleviate immunosuppression and improve anti-tumor immunity. Several approaches, including small molecule inhibitors and immunotherapies, are being explored to modulate ARG1 activity for therapeutic purposes.

Does ARG1 have any role in wound healing or tissue repair? 07/01/2019

Yes, ARG1 is involved in wound healing and tissue repair processes. In certain immune cells, such as macrophages, ARG1 expression is upregulated during wound healing. ARG1-expressing macrophages contribute to tissue repair by promoting angiogenesis and collagen deposition. Additionally, ARG1-derived urea can support cell proliferation and tissue remodeling. However, the exact mechanisms and contributions of ARG1 in wound healing are still being studied.

Is there any relationship between the ARG1 protein and cardiovascular diseases? 03/24/2019

Yes, there might be a link between ARG1 and cardiovascular diseases. Studies have suggested that ARG1 activity in blood vessels and endothelial cells may contribute to vascular dysfunction and hypertension. By modulating the availability of arginine and the production of nitric oxide, ARG1 can impact endothelial function and blood vessel dilation, which are important factors in cardiovascular health.

What other cellular pathways or proteins interact with ARG1? 02/21/2019

ARG1 can interact with various cellular pathways and proteins. One important interaction is between ARG1 and nitric oxide synthase (NOS), particularly inducible NOS (iNOS). ARG1 and iNOS compete for the common substrate arginine, and their activities can reciprocally regulate each other. The balance between ARG1 and iNOS activity is critical for the production of arginine-derived metabolites, such as urea and nitric oxide, which have diverse physiological effects.

Are there any drugs targeting ARG1 being developed? 08/15/2018

Yes, there is ongoing research to develop drugs targeting ARG1. For example, in cancer immunotherapy, scientists are exploring the use of ARG1 inhibitors to enhance anti-tumor immune responses. By blocking ARG1 activity in tumor-associated immune cells, the aim is to alleviate immunosuppression and enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors or other cancer therapies.

Are there any known pharmacological inhibitors of ARG1? 02/25/2018

Yes, there are pharmacological inhibitors of ARG1 that have been identified and are under investigation. Some examples include nor-NOHA (N-omega-hydroxy-nor-L-arginine) and BEC (Bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ethyl sulfide). These inhibitors have shown promising results in preclinical studies and are being evaluated for their potential in treating diseases associated with aberrant ARG1 activity.

Can ARG1 activity be regulated by post-translational modifications? 10/10/2017

Yes, ARG1 activity can be regulated by post-translational modifications, although the extent and significance of such modifications are still being investigated. For instance, phosphorylation of ARG1 on specific residues has been found to modulate its activity. Other post-translational modifications, such as acetylation and ubiquitination, may also influence ARG1 stability and function.
