CD Definition:
Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase; This is a family of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (SAMDC) proenzymes. In the biosynthesis of polyamines SAMDC produces decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine, which serves as the aminopropyl moiety necessary for spermidine and spermine biosynthesis from putrescine. The Pfam alignment contains both the alpha and beta chains that are cleaved to form the active enzyme.
