Gene information for ODC1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4953
Official gene symbolODC1
Full nameornithine decarboxylase 1
Aliases,ODC,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the rate-limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthesis pathway which catalyzes ornithine to putrescine. The activity level for the enzyme varies in response to growth-promoting stimuli and exhibits a high turnover rate in comparison to other mammalian proteins. Originally localized to both chromosomes 2 and 7, the gene encoding this enzyme has been determined to be located on 2p25, with a pseudogene located on 7q31-qter. [provided by RefSeq]
