Arginase activation

Arginase, activity of polyethylene glycol modified enzymes, 98 -99 Aromatic monomers, limited biocompatibility, 155 Asparaginase, activity of polyethylene glycol modified enzymes, 98-99 Autacoids, inactivation during systemic delivery, 266-267... 

Changes in the concentration of arginine, via arginase activity, can play a role in regulating the rate of nitric oxide synthesis. Nitric oxide is a messenger molecule that has several roles. One is to increase the activity of the enzyme guanyl cyclase, which increases the concentration of cyclic GMP. The latter causes vasolidation in peripheral...

In another procedure, substrate or product concentration is analyzed after an enzymatic conversion has taken place. The method extends the possibilities of analysing enzyme activities. For instance, arginase cleaves buffer-containing arginine to urea and ornithine.Therefore, the ET determines arginases activity... 

In 1948 Van Scott reported finding arginase activity in human skin, especially epidermis (V2), and in 1951 (V3) he reported finding activi-...
