Gene: AMD1

Alternate names for this Gene: ADOMETDC|AMD|SAMDC

Gene Summary: This 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. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 5, 6, 10, X and Y.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6q21

Description of this Gene: adenosylmethionine decarboxylase 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
