N(1),N(12)-diacetylspermine:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-acetamidopropanal-forming) activity

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Catalysis of the reaction: H2O + N(1),N(12)-diacetylspermine + O2 = 3-acetamidopropanal + H2O2 + N(1)-acetylspermidine. [RHEA:25868]

N(1),N(12)-diacetylspermine:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-acetamidopropanal-forming) activity catalyzes the oxidation of N(1),N(12)-diacetylspermine, a polyamine, using molecular oxygen as the electron acceptor. This reaction results in the formation of 3-acetamidopropanal, a volatile aldehyde, and other products. The enzyme's mechanism likely involves the activation of oxygen to form a reactive oxygen species, which then oxidizes the substrate. This enzyme plays a role in the metabolism of polyamines and may be involved in cellular signaling and stress responses.'
