| Bioactivity | H-HoArg-OH, a homologue arginine, is a strong inhibitor of human bone and liver alkaline phosphatase. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | It is found that H-HoArg-OH (L-homoarginine), a homologue of arginine, is a strong inhibitor of human bone and liver alkaline phosphatase while it has virtually no effect on intestinal and placental alkaline phosphatases unlike H-HoArg-OH which inhibits intestinal and placental alkaline phosphatases but not the liver and bone enzymes. These four tissues mentioned are the major contributors to the serum alkaline phosphatase[1]. It is also indicated that low levels of the endogenous amino acid H-HoArg-OH are linked to cardiovascular disease[2]. | ||||||||||||
