Arginase 1 (ARG1) is a 35‑40 kDa member of the arginase family of enzymes. It is expressed in multiple cell types, including erythrocytes, hepatocytes, neutrophils, smooth muscle and macrophages. ARG1 demonstrates two distinct functions: in the hepatocyte cytoplasm, it catalyzes the conversion of arginine to ornithine and urea, while in multiple cells, it degrades arginine, thus indirectly downregulating NO synthase (NOS) activity by depriving this enzyme of its substrate. Human AGR1 is 322 amino acids (aa) in length. Its enzyme region comprises aa 9‑309 and contains two Mn atoms. ARG1 is moderately active as a monomer, but highly active as a 105 kDa homotrimer. Trimerization is promoted by nitrosylation of Cys303, creating a regulatory feedback loop with NOS. There are two isoform variants, one that shows an eight aa insertion after Gln43, and another that shows a deletion of aa 204‑289. Full-length human ARG1 shares 87% aa identity with mouse and rat ARG1.

Detection of Arginase1 in Human Liver Tumor via seqIF™ staining on COMET™
Arginase 1 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human Liver Tumor using Mouse Anti-Human Arginase 1, Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB5868) at 3ug/mL at 37° Celsius for 4 minutes. Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue underwent an all-in-one dewaxing and antigen retrieval preprocessing using PreTreatment Module (PT Module) and Dewax and HIER Buffer H (pH 9; Epredia Catalog # TA-999-DHBH). Tissue was stained using the Alexa Fluor™ 647 Goat anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody at 1:200 at 37 ° Celsius for 2 minutes. (Yellow; Lunaphore Catalog # DR647MS) and counterstained with DAPI (blue; Lunaphore Catalog # DR100). Specific staining was localized to the cytoplasm and nucleus. Protocol available in COMET™ Panel Builder.Detection of Human Arginase 1/ARG1 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of human liver tissue. PVDF Membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Human Arginase 1/ARG1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB5868) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF007). A specific band was detected for Arginase 1/ARG1 at approximately 40 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.Detection of Human Arginase 1/ARG1 by Simple WesternTM.
Simple Western lane view shows lysates of human liver tissue, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for Arginase 1/ARG1 at approximately 42 kDa (as indicated) using 20 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human Arginase 1/ARG1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB5868). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.*Non-specific interaction with the 230kDa Simple Western standard may be seen with this antibody.Detection of Arginase 1/ARG1 in Human Liver Cancer.
Arginase 1/ARG1 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human liver cancer using Mouse Anti-Human Arginase 1/ARG1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB5868) at 1 µg/ml overnight at 4 °C. Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using the HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF007) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to the nucleus and cytoplasm. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.Detection of Arginase 1/ARG1 by Western Blot
