| Function | Hydrolyzes N(G),N(G)-dimethyl-L-arginine (ADMA) and N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine (MMA) which act as inhibitors of NOS. Has therefore a role in the regulation of nitric oxide generation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16632550}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Detected in red blood cells (at protein level). Widely distributed, high amounts found in kidney, brain, aorta and pancreas. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16632550}. |
