Catalysis of the transfer of amino acids from one side of a membrane to the other. Amino acids are organic molecules that contain an amino group and a carboxyl group. Catalysis of the stereospecific transfer of arginine, 2-amino-5-guanidinopentanoic acid, across a biological membrane. Catalysis of the transfer of basic amino acids from one side of a membrane to the other. Acidic amino acids have a pH above 7. Catalysis of the transfer of a solute or solutes from one side of a membrane to the other according to the reaction: ATP + H2O + arginine(out) = ADP + phosphate + arginine(in). Catalysis of the transfer of an L-amino acid from one side of a membrane to the other. L-amino acids are the L-enantiomers of amino acids. Catalysis of the transfer of arginine from one side of a membrane to the other. In high affinity transport the transporter is able to bind the solute even if it is only present at very low concentrations.
