Protein name Arginase-2, mitochondrial (EC 3.5.3.1) (Arginase II) (Kidney-type arginase) (Non-hepatic arginase) (Type II arginase)
Protein function May play a role in the regulation of extra-urea cycle arginine metabolism and also in down-regulation of nitric oxide synthesis. Extrahepatic arginase functions to regulate L-arginine bioavailability to nitric oxid synthase (NOS). Arginine metab
