An enzyme in homogenates of porcine vascular endothelial cells forms L-citrulline from L-arginine. This enzyme is soluble and NADPH-dependent. In addition, the enzyme is inhibited by NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, suggesting that it is involved in the formation of nitric oxide by vascular endothelial cells.
猪血管内皮细胞匀浆中的一种酶可由L-精氨酸生成L-瓜氨酸。这种酶是可溶性的且依赖于NADPH。此外,该酶受到NG-单甲基-L-精氨酸的抑制,这表明它参与血管内皮细胞一氧化氮的形成。
