Application

EC Number	Application	Comment	Organism
3.5.3.18	medicine	epoetin beta and darbepoetin alpha posttranslationally impair DDAH activity via increased oxidative stress, causing NG,NG-dimethyl-L-arginine as an important cardiovascular risk factor to accumulate and inhibit NO-synthesis	Homo sapiens

Inhibitors
