Function

ARGI_ENTH1 Catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-arginine into urea and L-ornithine, which is a precursor for polyamine biosynthesis (PubMed:15053781, PubMed:29691540, PubMed:31199070). By depleting host L-arginine, a substrate for nitric oxide synthase (NOS), prevents the production of nitric oxide (NO) by host activated macrophages, and thus allows the parasite to evade host immune response (PubMed:15053781).^[1] ^[2] ^[3]
