Function
Polyamines are essential for cell proliferation and are implicated in cellular processes, ranging from DNA replication to apoptosis. Catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step of polyamine biosynthesis that converts ornithine into putrescine, which is the precursor for the polyamines, spermidine and spermine.
