Argininosuccinate lyase Protein, Human, Recombinant (His & GST)

• Catalog Number: orb1956526
• Category: Proteins
• Description: The recycling of citrulline by argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1) and argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) is crucial to maintain arginine availability and nitric oxide (NO) production. Nitric oxide (NO) plays an established role in numerous physiological and pathological processes, but the specific cellular sources of NO in disease pathogenesis remain unclear, preventing the implementation of NO-related therapy. Argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) is the only enzyme able to produce arginine, the substrate for NO generation by nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoforms. Induction of endogenous NO production by enterocytes with supplements that upregulate ASL expression and complement its substrates results in improved epithelial integrity and alleviation of colitis and of inflammation-associated colon cancer.
