DDAH2 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
DDAH2 
Aliases
G6A 
Common name
dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 2 
Entrez Id
23564
Description
This gene encodes a dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase. The encoded enzyme functions in nitric oxide generation by regulating the cellular concentrations of methylarginines, which in turn inhibit nitric oxide synthase activity. The protein may be localized to the mitochondria. Alternative splicing resulting in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014].
