The following Arginase-1 ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of arginase 1 in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the ARG1 gene. This protein is reported to be a key element of the urea cycle converting L-arginine to urea and L-ornithine, which is further metabolized into metabolites proline and polyamides that drive collagen synthesis and bioenergetic pathways critical for cell proliferation, respectively; the urea cycle takes place primarily in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the kidneys. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 322 residues, a mass of 34.7 kDa, and is a member of the Arginase protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cytoplasm. As many as 3 protein isoforms have been reported. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Argininemia. This protein may also be known as liver-type arginase, type I arginase, and arginase, liver.
The detection range for different Arginase-1 ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 7.81 pg/mL and as high as 500 ng/mL.
