Arginase I (ARG1)

1 reactions · 1 pathways

Cofactors used

H2O

Clinical / pharmacological. Argininaemia: spastic diplegia, less severe hyperammonaemia

What it does, reaction by reaction

1 reactions

Urea Cycle Amino Acid & Nitrogen Metabolism · Mitochondrial matrix + cytosol

step 5 Irreversible

L-arginine + H₂O → L-ornithine + urea

Converts Arginine H2O into Ornithine Urea

› Notes

Cytosolic arginase I (ARG1), a manganese-containing enzyme, hydrolyzes arginine to urea and ornithine. This essentially irreversible final step regenerates ornithine for mitochondrial import and releases urea into blood for renal excretion.

Urea Cycle

Listed there as: Arginase I

Accelerated by

Arginine availability; manganese

Inhibited by

Product accumulation; severe hepatic dysfunction

Hormonal control
