Oithine Decarboxylase (ODC) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthesis pathway which catalyzes oithine to putrescine. The activity level for the enzyme varies in response to growth-promoting stimuli and exhibits a high tuover rate in comparison to other mammalian proteins. Originally localized to both chromosomes 2 and 7, the gene encoding this enzyme has been determined to be located on 2p25, with a pseudogene located on 7q31-qter. Multiple alteatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. (RefSeq)
