Target type: molecularfunction
Catalysis of the reaction: N1-acetylspermine + oxygen + H2O = N1-acetylspermidine + 3-aminopropanal + hydrogen peroxide. [MetaCyc:POLYAMINE-OXIDASE-RXN]
N1-acetylspermine:oxygen oxidoreductase (N1-acetylspermidine-forming) activity catalyzes the oxidation of N1-acetylspermine, a polyamine, using molecular oxygen as the electron acceptor. This reaction results in the formation of N1-acetylspermidine, another polyamine, and hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of polyamines, which are essential for various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and proliferation. The specific role of this enzyme in polyamine metabolism and its implications for cellular function are still being investigated. The enzyme likely plays a role in regulating the levels of polyamines in cells, which can impact cell growth and proliferation. Further research is needed to fully elucidate its role in cellular processes.'
