CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic

basic FUNCTION	important intermediate enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis
	enzyme controlling a rate-liming step for the synthesis of spermidine, which is incorporated into EIF5A in the form of the non-standard amino acid hypusine
	plays an essential role in embryonic development
	pyruvoyl-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the aminopropyl group donor in the biosynthesis of the polyamines spermidine and spermine
	ubiquitinated and degraded by the 26 S proteasome, and substrate-mediated acceleration of degradation is a unique finding
	key enzyme for the biosynthesis of spermidine
	key enzyme in the polyamine synthesis pathway, in regulating both ESC self-renewal and differentiation to the neural lineage
	major regulator of ESC self-renewal and its essential role lies in its regulation of MYC levels within the cell
	implicated in ESC self-renewal and directed differentiation of ESCs to neural precursor cells (NPCs)
	both AMD1 and ODC1 are essential regulators of ESCs and function to ensure high polyamine levels to promote ESC self-renewal
	AMD1-stimulated different complete network was involved in AMD1 activation with cytoplasm ubiquitin specific peptidase (tRNA-guanine transglycosylase) to nucleus paired box-induced mRNA processing
