4.1.1.17
Description Ornithine decarboxylase
Alternative names ODC.
Catalyzed reaction L-ornithine = putrescine + CO(2).
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments In mammals, ornithine decarboxylase catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the pathway leading to the production of polyamines, which play an essential role in cell proliferation.
Subfamily 1 includes enzymes that belong to the fold type III group and are mostly of eukaryotic origin.
Family 2 includes only eubacterial enzymes, beloging to the fold type I group.
Prosite PROSITE; PDOC00585; PROSITE; PDOC00685;
