DDAH1 dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1

Gene ID: 23576, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DDAH; DDAHI; DDAH-1; HEL-S-16

Summary

This gene belongs to the dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) gene family. The encoded enzyme plays a role in nitric oxide generation by regulating cellular concentrations of methylarginines, which in turn inhibit nitric oxide synthase activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
