DescriptionSpermidine is a polyamine formed from putrescine and a precursor of spermine. Polyamines (e.g. spermidine, putrescine, spermine) are a ubiquitous group of compounds involved in many biological processes, including binding to nucleic acids, stabilizing membranes, and stimulating several enzymes.
