 S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) is a key enzyme in the polyamine biosynthetic pathway, forming the amine decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine <ref name="primary">PMID: 11583147</ref><ref name="two">PMID: 9353291</ref> It also aids in the synthesis of spermine and spermidine <ref name="primary"/><ref name="three">PMID: 11583148</ref><ref name="four">PMID: 12600205</ref>. Spermine and spermidine are polyamines that are essential growth factors and critical in cell differentiation <ref name="four"/><ref name="five">PMID: 19527050</ref>. Their levels within cells are regulated by the amount of AdoMetDC available <ref name="four"/>. Thus, AdoMetDC is tightly regulated in mammalian cells <ref name="primary"/>.
 ==Structure and Function==
-S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase is a (αβ)2 <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_345/proteins_subunits'>dimer</scene>, forming a four-layer αββα sandwich <ref name="primary"/>.  The αβ monomers both have the same structure <ref name="primary"/>.  The β chain consists of the residues 1-67 while the α chain contains the residues 68-329 <ref name="four"/>. Each β sheet contains eight anti-parallel β strands <ref name="primary"/>.  AdoMetDC has a very unique fold compared to other large β-sandwich structures as well as other pyruvoyl-dependent amino acid decarboxylases <ref name="primary"/>. The two β sheets are connected by only one covalent bond which allows them a large amount of flexibility to behave as independently folded domains that move with respect to each other <ref name="primary"/>. The α and β subunits are formed by an internal cleavage reaction <ref name="primary"/>.

-AdoMetDC belongs to a small class of decarboxylating enzymes that use as a prosthetic group a covalently bound pyruvate <ref name="primary"/><ref name="two"/>. The same cleavage reaction that forms the α and β subunits also converts a serine (Ser68) residue into the pyruvate <ref name="two"/><ref name="three"/><ref name="six">PMID: 10029540</ref>. This self processing reaction occurs via a N to O acyl rearrangement <ref name="three"/><ref name="four"/>. The pyruvoyl group is bound to the N-terminal of an α subunit <ref name="four"/><ref name="five"/>.

 Decarboxylation of S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) to S-adenosyl-5’-(3-methylthiopropylamine) (dcAdoMet) is catalyzed using AdoMetDC <ref name="two"/>. Spermidine is the receptor of the aminopropyl group from dcAdoMet forming spermine or spermidine <ref name="five"/>. This is an early step in the pathway of polyamine biosynthesis of dcAdoMet, which commits it completely to this fate <ref name="five"/>.
