Since it recognises monomethyl arginine only it can be used in parallel with\u003cbr\u003e\n(detects dimethyl arginine only) and\u003cbr\u003e\n(detects both monomethyl and dimethyl arginine) to monitor the exact modification status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nForm-Liquid, Purification technique-Affinity purification Protein A, Storage buffer-Constituents: 2% Sucrose, 1.21% Tris, 0.75% Glycine, Shipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage duration-1-2 weeks, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions--20°C, Aliquoting information-Upon delivery aliquot, Storage information-Avoid freeze \/ thaw cycle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nMono methyl arginine also known as MMA is a post-translational modification where a single methyl group is added to the guanidino nitrogen group of arginine residues. This modification is catalyzed by a group of enzymes called protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs). MMA exists in proteins throughout various tissues mainly in the nucleus cytoplasm and sometimes in mitochondria. This modification contributes to the molecular mass of modified proteins which varies depending on the protein itself.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe process of arginine methylation which includes mono methyl arginine formation plays a role in diverse cellular functions such as signal transduction RNA processing and gene expression regulation. Mono methyl arginine often participates in forming larger protein complexes. For instance it can act as a binding site for other proteins in these complexes facilitating interactions necessary for cellular operations. It is important in the regulation of transcription factors and also influences DNA repair mechanisms.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nMono methyl arginine is integral in the regulation of the epigenetic pathways and cellular signaling pathways such as the Ras signaling pathway. By altering the methylation status of proteins it affects protein-protein interactions and the activity of signaling molecules. This modification is closely associated with proteins like histones in epigenetic regulation and the protein Ras in signaling pathways. Through these associations it influences important cellular decisions such as differentiation proliferation and apoptosis.\u003cbr\u003e\nMono methyl arginine modifications have linkages with cancer and cardiovascular disorders. In cancer abnormal arginine methylation can lead to dysregulation of gene expression promoting oncogenesis. Proteins such as PRMT1 are often found deregulated in cancerous cells. In cardiovascular diseases where altered vascular tone is a significant factor mono methyl arginine has associations with endothelial dysfunction. This dysfunction can further lead to changes in the regulation of the protein endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) affecting cardiovascular health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46855422247081,"sku":"ab414","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab414","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
