EC 1.5.3.14 Details
EC number
1.5.3.14
Accepted name
polyamine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)
Reaction
spermidine + O2 + H2O = propane-1,3-diamine + 4-aminobutanal + H2O2
Other name(s)
MPAO (ambiguous), maize PAO
Systematic name
spermidine:oxygen oxidoreductase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)
Comment
As the products of the reaction cannot be converted directly to other polyamines, this class of polyamine oxidases is considered to be involved in the terminal catabolism of polyamines [1]. This enzyme less efficiently catalyses the oxidation of N1-acetylspermine and spermine. A flavoprotein (FAD). Differs in specificity from EC 1.5.3.13 (N1-acetylpolyamine oxidase), EC 1.5.3.15 [N8-acetylspermidine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)], EC 1.5.3.16 (spermine oxidase) and EC 1.5.3.17 (non-specific polyamine oxidase).
