Although chickens are uricotelic and do not have significant urea-ornithine cycle in any tissue, the kidneys contain a high concentration of arginase which apparently functions to regulate degradation of dietary arginine. A series of investigations has been made to determine the intracellular localization of this arginase in chicken kidney. Tissue fractionation using sucrose density gradients and differential centrifugation showed as association of arginase activity with certain marker enzymes and with fractions identified as mitochondria by electron microscopy. This is consistent with the localization of the arginase in the mitochondrial matrix of chicken kidney cells. Such a finding has significance in understanding the regulation of arginine degradation in chickens.
