Polyamines are essential in all branches of life. '''Spermidine synthase''' (putrescine aminopropyltransferase, PAPT) (SPS) catalyzes the biosynthesis of spermidine, a ubiquitous polyamine<ref>PMID:17585781</ref>. SPS catalyzes the transfer of aminopropyl group from decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to the amine acceptor spermidine. | Polyamines are essential in all branches of life.
