Transgenic mice that overexpress arginase-I in their small-intestinal enterocytes suffer from a pronounced, but selective decrease in circulating arginine levels during the suckling period, resulting in impaired growth and development of hair, muscle and immune system. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that the arginine-deficiency phenotype is caused by arginine-specific post-translational...
