    basic FUNCTION
  • N-omega dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase, regulating cellular concentrations of dimethylarginines
  • important regulatory role for DDAH1, DDAH2 in the maintenance of endothelial function
  • DDAH2 could play an important role in IL1B-induced NO production and in osteoarthritis pathogenesis
  • regulates the function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, differentiation

    Susceptibility
  • to risk of developing myocardial infarction (MI)
  • to chronic kidney disease
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • rs805304 C allele was associated with decreased risk of MI and decreased risk of obesity
  • rs9267551 functional variant of the DDAH2 gene is associated with chronic kidney disease with carriers of the C allele having a lower risk of renal dysfunction independently from several confounders
