Popis: | Arginase, an enzyme which catalyses the cleavage of arginine to ornithine and urea, is widely distributed in nature (1). It is present in a variety of mammalian tissues including the liver, kidney, testes, breast (1, 2), and some animal tumors (3). More recently the presence of arginase in human epidermis has been demonstrated independently by two laboratories (4, 5). Furthermore, in the scales from the cutaneous disorder psoriasis arginase activity is markedly increased (6, 7). |
