Arginase is a binuclear manganese metalloenzyme found in viruses and cellular organisms that also hydrolyzes alpha-N-substituted L-arginines and canavanine. It hydrolyzes L-arginine into L-ornithine and urea. In liver it completes the urea cycle; in macrophages it suppresses T cells. It features a binuclear manganese arginase fold.
