General description

Arginine (Arg) is a dibasic amino acid and exists as two enantiomers: D-Arg and L-Arg. D-Arg is a cationic endogenous amino acid and is found in the central nervous system.

Application

D-Arginine has been used:
  • as an organic substrate to study the metabolic versatility of freshwater sedimentary archaea feeding on different organic carbon sources
  • to study its role in the inhibition of Pseudorabies virus (PRV) plaque formation by arginase
  • as a reference standard for chromatographic separation

Biochem/physiol Actions

D-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid that maintains cell death in the central nervous system (CNS). It may possess neuroprotective actions against glucocorticoids induced neurotoxicity in the CNS.

Type-II l-arginine:ureahydrolase, arginase-II (Arg-II), is abundantly expressed in the kidney. The physiologic role played by Arg-II in the kidney remains unknown. Herein, we report that in mice that are deficient in Arg-II (Arg-II-/-), total and membrane-associated aquaporin-2 (AQP2) protein levels
