Arginase I is constitutively expressed in human granulocytes and participates in fungicidal activity
17 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
The balance of arginine metabolism via nitric oxide synthase (NOS) or arginase is an important determinant of the inflammatory response of murine macrophages and dendritic cells. Here we analyzed the expression of the isoform arginase I in human myeloid cells. Using healthy donors and patients with arginase I deficiency, we found that in human leukocytes arginase I is constitutively expressed only in granulocytes...
