A hallmark of ???alternative activation??? (M2) of macrophages
is high arginase activity, which competes with inducible NO
synthase for??L-arginine, the common substrate
of both enzymes. ARG1 activation has been regarded as one of
the most specific markers of M2 macrophages.

Arg1 is up-regulated in MDSC by IL-4.
Arg1 increases superoxide production in myeloid cells through a pathway that likely utilizes the reductase domain of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), and that superoxide is required for Arg1-dependent suppression of T cell function.
