Dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) modulates NO production by degrading the endogenous nitric oxide (NO) synthase (NOS) inhibitors asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) and L-NG-monomethyl arginine (L-NMMA). This study examined whether, in addition to degrading ADMA, DDAH1 exerts ADMA-independent effects that influence endothelial function.
