  		Fig. 3. Model for the coupling of endothelial NO production to the regeneration of the substrate, arginine, from the product, citrulline. Shown is the CAT1 transporter involved in arginine transport and the complex of argininosuccinate synthase and argininosuccinate lyase with endothelial nitric oxide synthase.
