Abstract excerpt
Elevated polyamine content and increased ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity have been associated with neoplastic growth in numerous animal models and human tissues. Antizyme (AZ) is a negative regulator of polyamine metabolism that inhibits ODC activity, stimulates ODC degradation, and suppresses polyamine uptake. Preliminary evidence, obtained from transgenic mice with tissue specific overexpression of AZ...
