Abstract excerpt
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is extremely unstable in mammalian cells. This unusual characteristic facilitates rapid fluctuations in the activity of this enzyme in response to variations in its biosynthesis. Unfortunately, very little is known about the mechanism or regulation of this ODC-specific proteolytic pathway. This study describes the production and characterization of a variant of the rat hepatoma HTC...
