Updated on 05-November-2015
FunctionArginase (Arg) catalyzes the conversion of arginine to ornithine and urea. Arg is the final enzyme in the urea cycle. Arg requires 2 manganese ions for functioning. DiseaseArg deficiency is an inherited disorder causing the accumulation of toxic urea in the blood. Structural highlightsThe manganese ions are located at the bottom of a 15A cleft. The proposed reaction mechanism involves H141, D128, E277 in rat. | ||||||||||||
