背景
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ornithine decarboxylase antizyme family, which plays a role in cell growth and proliferation by regulating intracellular polyamines. Expression of antizymes requires +1 ribosomal frameshifting, which is enhanced by high levels of polyamines. Antizymes in turn bind to and inhibit ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the key enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis; thus, completing the auto-regulatory circuit. This gene encodes antizyme 2, the second member of the antizyme family. Like antizyme 1, antizyme 2 has broad tissue distribution, inhibits ODC activity and polyamine uptake, and stimulates ODC degradation in vivo; however, it fails to promote ODC degradation in vitro. Antizyme 2 is expressed at lower levels than antizyme 1, but is evolutionary more conserved, suggesting it likely has an important biological role. Studies also show different sub
功能
alternative products:A ribosomal frameshift occurs between the codons for Ser-32 and Asp-33. An autoregulatory mechanism enables modulation of frameshifting according to the cellular concentration of polyamines,function:Binds to, and destabilizes, ornithine decarboxylase. Does not accelerate ornithine decarboxylase degeneration.,similarity:Belongs to the ODC antizyme family.,
