Within the immune system initially reported to be selectively expressed in granulocytes (polymorphonuclear leukocytes [PMNs]) (PubMed:15546957) . Also detected in macrophages mycobacterial granulomas (PubMed:23749634) . Expressed in group2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) during lung disease (PubMed:27043409) .

Key element of the urea cycle converting L-arginine to urea and L-ornithine, which is further metabolized into metabolites proline and polyamides that drive collagen synthesis and bioenergetic pathways critical for cell proliferation, respectively; the urea cycle takes place primarily in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the kidneys. .
