Abstract excerpt
The expression of the polyamine catabolic enzyme, spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SSAT), has been associated with tumor sensitivity to antitumor polyamine analogues. In the sensitive cell types the level of SSAT is greatly induced by these agents. Although SSAT expression is regulated at many levels, the initial regulation of this X-linked gene occurs at the level of transcription. Because most previous...
