Homospermidine synthase
Homospermidine synthase (EC 2.5.1.44) is an enzyme with systematic name putrescine:putrescine 4-aminobutyltransferase (ammonia-forming).[1][2][3][4][5][6] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- (1) 2 putrescine sym-homospermidine + NH3 + H+
- (2) putrescine + spermidine sym-homospermidine + propane-1,3-diamine
