Detection of arginase-1 by immunohistochemistry (IHC) with Arginase-1 (SP156) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody may be used to aid in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.1,2

Arginase is a key metalloenzyme of the urea cycle responsible for the hydrolysis of L-arginine to L-ornithine and urea.3 Two main isoforms exist, arginase-1 and arginase-2, encoded by different genes and with different tissue distributions. The arginase-1 isoform is a cytosolic protein that is produced by normal liver tissue and is typically expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma.1,3,4

In combination with other antibodies, this product may be used as an aid in diagnosis.
