Explore: Spermidine

Spermidine is a polyamine compound (C 7H 19N 3) found in ribosomes and living tissues and having various metabolic functions within organisms. Spermidine

are found in all forms of life. The principal examples are the triamine spermidine and the tetraamine spermine. They are structurally and biosynthetically

Spermidine synthase is an enzyme (EC 2.5.1.16) that catalyzes the transfer of the propylamine group from S-adenosylmethioninamine to putrescine in the

described. Spermidine synthase uses putrescine and S-adenosylmethioninamine (decarboxylated S-adenosyl methionine) to produce spermidine. Spermidine in turn

Diamine acetyltransferase 1 (also termed spermidine/spermine N(1)-acetyltransferase 1, SSAT, and SAT1) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SAT1

AtPAO1, AtPAO4, SMO) is an enzyme with systematic name spermidine:oxygen oxidoreductase (spermidine-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical

form of glutathione containing two molecules of glutathione joined by a spermidine (polyamine) linker. It is found in parasitic protozoa such as leishmania

In enzymology, a spermidine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.99.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction spermidine + acceptor + H2O ⇌ {\displaystyle

1.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction glutathione + spermidine + ATP ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } glutathionylspermidine + ADP

substrate that is required for the biosynthesis of polyamines including spermidine, spermine, and thermospermine. It is produced by decarboxylation of S-adenosyl
