physiological function polyamines (agmatine, putrescine, spermine and spermidine) are ubiquitous molecules involved in cell growth and differentiation. They modulate neurotransmission and are responsible for the polyamine mediated stress response, a cascade of molecular events transiently activated by acute stress stimuli. Chronic stress can lead to a hyperactivation of the polyamine system, ultimately leading to cell growth inhibition and cell death. Spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltranserare 1 is the key regulator of cellular polyamine content and is involved in the catabolism of spermidine and spermine, a key step in the maintenance of polyamine homeostasis Homo sapiens
