Mouse Anti-Porcine Argininosuccinate Synthetase 1 (ASS1) Monoclonal Antibody

Porcine argininosuccinate synthetase 1 (ASS1) is a crucial enzyme involved in the urea cycle and the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) in pigs. ASS1 catalyzes the condensation of citrulline with aspartate to form argininosuccinate, which is subsequently converted to arginine and fumarate. This step is essential for the detoxification of ammonia in the body and the maintenance of nitrogen balance. As a key regulatory enzyme in the urea cycle, ASS1 plays a significant role in the metabolism of amino acids and the production of urea, which is the primary means by which pigs excrete excess nitrogen. Additionally, the enzyme contributes to the biosynthesis of nitric oxide, a molecule that is vital for various physiological processes, including vasodilation, immune response, and neurotransmission.
