{"symbol":"AMD1","synonyms":["ADOMETDC","AMD","SAMDC"],"name":"adenosylmethionine decarboxylase 1","description":"This gene encodes an important intermediate enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis. The polyamines spermine, spermidine, and putrescine are low-molecular-weight aliphatic amines essential for cellular proliferation and tumor promotion. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 5, 6, 10, X and Y.
