Abstract
The study of the Physicochemical, catalytic, structural and immunological characteristics of arginase from tortoise, a uricotelic organism was undertaken in order to provide information which would demonstrate the differences between the ureotelic and uricotelic arginases. In conclusion, tortoise liver arginase was similar to those of uricotelics in terms of kinetic and physicochemical properties. The physiological role of the enzyme in uricotelics involved the conversion of ornithine to proline and glutamate
