Gene information for Oaz2 (Mus musculus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID18247
Official gene symbolOaz2
Full nameornithine decarboxylase antizyme 2
AliasesAZ-2,AZ2,Sez15
Gene summaryOrnithine decarboxylase catalyzes the conversion of ornithine to putrescine in the first and apparently rate-limiting step in polyamine biosynthesis. The ornithine decarboxylase antizymes play a role in the regulation of polyamine synthesis by binding to and inhibiting ornithine decarboxylase. Antizyme expression is auto-regulated by polyamine-enhanced translational frameshifting. The antizyme encoded by this gene inhibits ornithine decarboxylase but does not accelerate its degradation.
