Also known as: AI; PGIF; Arg-1
Summary: Enables arginase activity. Involved in defense response to protozoan; negative regulation of T-helper 2 cell cytokine production; and negative regulation of activated T cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within response to nematode. Predicted to be located in extracellular space; mitochondrial outer membrane; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study hyperargininemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; hepatocellular carcinoma; and hyperargininemia. Orthologous to human ARG1 (arginase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
