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.

TANs (G-MDSC) produced much more ARG1 and ROS than autologous neutrophils and inhibited proliferation of activated autologous T cells and IFN-γ productionReferences_end
