Protein Oaz3

URN urn:agi-llid:681891
Connectivity 3
Name Oaz3
Description ornithine decarboxylase antizyme 3
Notes Ornithine decarboxylase catalyzes the conversion of ornithine to putrescine in the first and apparently rate-limiting step in polyamine biosynthesis. The ornithine decarboxylase antizymes play a role in the regulation of polyamine synthesis by binding to and inhibiting ornithine decarboxylase. Antizyme expression is auto-regulated by polyamine-enhanced translational frameshifting. In contrast to antizymes 1 and 2, which are widely expressed throughout the body, the expression of antizyme 3, encoded by this gene, is restricted to testis germ cells. [provided by RefSeq]
