Template:STRUCTURE 4ie3

Crystal structure of human Arginase-2 complexed with inhbitor 1o

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 23453840

Function

[ARGI2_HUMAN] 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 NO synthase. Since NO synthase is found in the penile corpus cavernosum smooth muscle, the clitoral corpus cavernosum and the vagina, arginase II plays a role in both male and female sexual arousal. It is therefore a potential target for the treatment of male and female sexual arousal disorders.
