Protein
Arginase 1, mitochondrial
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-arginine to urea and L-ornithine. The latter can be utilized in the urea cycle or as a precursor for the synthesis of both polyamines and proline. Possesses agmatinase activity. Catalyzes the formation of putrescine from agmatine (PubMed:28716421).
