Summary

Protein Function

Eukaryotic ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the initial step in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway, the decarboxylation of L-ornithine to produce putrescine. The polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine are ubiquitous compounds that are essential for cell growth and differentiation in many organisms.
They have demonstrated roles in cell cycle, apoptosis, cancer, embryonic development, immune system functions, and neurochemistry. Overexpression of polyamine biosynthetic enzymes leads to mammalian cell transformation or to growth perturbations in plants, whereas knockout of the polyamine biosynthetic enzymes causes polyamine auxotrophy (e.g. yeast, Trypanosoma brucei, and Leishmania donovani) and is lethal at early embryonic stages in mice. Inhibitors of polyamine biosynthetic enzymes have anti-proliferative effects and have been utilized as anticancer and anti-parasite agents. (PMID: 15190062)
