Abstract excerpt
The antizyme inhibitor was discovered as a protein that binds to the regulatory protein antizyme and inhibits the ability of antizyme to interact with the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). Blocking antizyme activity subsequently leads to increased intracellular levels of ODC and increased ODC enzymatic activity. We now report that antizyme inhibitor is a positive modulator of cell growth. Overexpression of...
