General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction plasma and tissue asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) and N-monomethyl-L-arginine (L-NMMA) levels in DDAH1-/- mice are several folds higher than in wild-type mice, but growth and development of these knockout mice are similar to wild-type. Although the expression of DDAH2 is unaffected, DDAH activity is undetectable in all tissues tested. Results indicate that DDAH1 is the critical enzyme for ADMA and L-NMMA degradation Mus musculus
