Background of ARG1
ARG1 (arginase, live) is a cytosolic enzyme and expressed predominantly in the liver as a component of the urea cycle. The isoform encoded by ARG1, referred to as the liver, or A-I, isoform, contributes 98% of the arginase activity in liver but is also present in red cells. Using a rat liver ARG1 cDNA clone to probe a human liver cDNA library, Haraguchi et al. (1987) isolated and characterized a cDNA corresponding to the ARG1 gene. The ARG1 gene is mapped on 6q23.2 and the arginase gene contains 8 exons. By immunologic studies, 90% of the arginase in red blood cell and liver was precipitated by the antibody, whereas only 50% of the arginase in kidney, brain, and the gastrointestinal tract reacted with it. Inherited deficiency of this enzyme results in argininemia, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by hyperammonemia. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Western blot analysis of Arginase-1/ARG1 using anti-Arginase-1/ARG1 antibody (RP1075).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human hepatocellular carcinoma tumor tissue (HCCT) lysates,
Lane 2: human hepatocellular carcinoma paracancerous tissue (HCCP) lysates,
Lane 3: rat liver tissue lysates,
Lane 4: mouse liver tissue lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-Arginase-1/ARG1 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (RP1075) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Arginase-1/ARG1 at approximately 38 kDa. The expected band size for Arginase-1/ARG1 is at 35 kDa.

4 Customer Q&As for Anti-liver Arginase/ARG1 Antibody Picoband®
Question
We were satisfied with the WB result of your anti-liver Arginase/ARG1 antibody. However we have observed positive staining in liver cytoplasm. using this antibody. Is that expected? Could you tell me where is ARG1 supposed to be expressed?
Verified Customer

Question
We are currently using anti-liver Arginase/ARG1 antibody RP1075 for rat tissue, and we are well pleased with the WB results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human, rat. Is it true that the antibody can work on monkey tissues as well?
Verified Customer
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-02-15
Answer
The anti-liver Arginase/ARG1 antibody (RP1075) has not been validated for cross reactivity specifically with monkey tissues, though there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in monkey you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.
