Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	As well as its role in the urea cycle, may be involved in tissue remodeling.
Catalytic activity	L-arginine + H2O = L-ornithine + urea.
Cofactor	Binds 2 manganese ions per subunit By similarity.
Pathway	Nitrogen metabolism; urea cycle; L-ornithine and urea from L-arginine: step 1/1.
Subunit structure	Homotrimer By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Expressed at differing tadpole stages in tail, intestine, hindlimb and trunk region. Strongest in tadpole tail.
Developmental stage	First detected in early tailbud (stage 23/24). Highest levels in whole tadpole found around stage 47/48. In the intestine, increased levels are found during metamorphosis (stages 58-64) and in the hindlimb, expressed at low levels during metamorphosis until stage 66 when levels dramatically increase. In the tail, a constant high level of expression is found throughout metamorphosis.
Induction	By thyroid hormone (T3).
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the arginase family.
