Gene:
spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase
Gene ID:
196373
Symbol:
SAT
Species:
1000
Description:
Spermidine/spermine N(1)-acetyltransferase (SPD/SPM acetyltransferase) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolic pathway of polyamine metabolism. It catalyzes the N(1)-acetylation of spermidine and spermine and, by the successive activity of polyamine oxidase, spermine can be converted to spermidine and spermidine to putrescine.[supplied by OMIM]
