Application

Application Comment Organism
analysis arginase activity may interfere in nitric oxide activity assay. A nitric oxide synthase-independent radioactive signal in mitochondrial samples analyzed for nitric oxide synthase-catalyzed [14C]-L-arginine to [14C]-L-citrulline conversion is due to the arginase-catalyzed conversion of [14C]-L-arginine to [14C]-urea. The results, in addition to reconfirming the absence of nitric oxide synthase activity in rat liver MT, show the need to include arginase inhibitors in studies using mitochondrial samples in order to avoid confounding results when using nitric oxide synthase activity assays Rattus norvegicus
