Metabolic pathways of methylarginines. S-AdoMet: S-adenosyl-l-methionine; S-AdoHcy: S-adenosylhomocysteine; PRMT: protein arginine methyltransferases; MMA: monomethyl arginine; ADMA: asymmetric dimethyl arginine; SMDA: symmetric dimethyl arginine; CAT: cationic amino acid transporter; DDAH: dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase; NOS: nitric oxide synthase.
