Arginase-induced cell death pathways and metabolic changes in cancer cells are not altered by insulin

Abstract Arginine, a semi-essential amino acid, is critical for cell growth. Typically, de novo synthesis of arginine is sufficient to support cellular processes, however, it becomes vital for cancer cells that are unable to synthesise arginine due to enzyme deficiencies. Targeting this need, argini...
