Five forms of arginase in human tissues.
Five forms of arginase, A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5, were found to be present in human tissues. The molecular weight of all these forms is the same, 120,000, but they differ in the behavior on DEAE- and CM-cellulose, electrophoretic mobility, isoelectric point, and immunochemical properties. Forms A1 from kidney and A5 from liver show complete immunological incompatibility, whereas forms A2 from liver, A3 from salivary gland, and A4 from kidney exhibit partial incompatibility with respect to each other and to forms A1 and A5.
