Abstract excerpt
To ascertain the role of spermidine/spermine N-1-acetyl-transferase (SSAT; the rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine catabolism) in cell injury, cultured kidney (HEK 293) cells conditionally overexpressing SSAT were generated. The SSAT expression was induced and its enzymatic activity increased 24 h after addition of tetracycline and remained elevated over the length of the experiments. Induction of SSAT upregulated...
