Gene information for AMD1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID262
Official gene symbolAMD1
Full nameadenosylmethionine decarboxylase 1
Aliases,ADOMETDC,AMD,DKFZp313L1234,FLJ26964,SAMDC,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an important intermediate enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis. The polyamines spermine, spermidine, and putrescine are low-molecular-weight aliphatic amines essential for cellular proliferation and tumor promotion. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been identified. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 5, 6, 10, X and Y.
