Biological function summary
ODC actively participates in cell proliferation and differentiation by regulating the levels of polyamines which are essential for DNA stabilization and cellular processes. While ODC does not form part of a larger protein complex its activity requires the presence of cofactor pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. By controlling polyamine synthesis ODC influences gene expression ion channel functions and protein synthesis impacting cell cycle progression and apoptosis.
Pathways
Ornithine decarboxylation connects with important biological processes such as the urea cycle and polyamine biosynthetic pathway. In these pathways enzymes like arginase and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase work closely with ODC. ODC's role in regulating polyamine levels makes it an important component of cellular metabolism and growth pathways. Through these pathways ODC coordinates with other proteins to ensure proper cellular function and response to growth signals.

Additional notes
ab113125 was purified using conventional chromatography.
General info
Function
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. Polyamines are essential for cell proliferation and are implicated in cellular processes, ranging from DNA replication to apoptosis.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the Orn/Lys/Arg decarboxylase class-II family.
Post-translational modifications
S-Nitrosylation inhibits the enzyme. S-Nitrosylated in vitro on 4 cysteine residues.
