DescriptionSpermine, also known as gerontine or musculamine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dialkylamines. These are organic compounds containing a dialkylamine group, characterized by two alkyl groups bonded to the amino nitrogen. Spermine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Spermine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within yeast, spermine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, 5'-methylthioadenosine and spermine can be biosynthesized from spermidine and S-adenosylmethioninamine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme spermine synthase. In addition, spermine can be converted into 3-aminopropanal and spermidine through the action of the enzyme polyamine oxidase. In yeast, spermine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the beta-alanine metabolism pathway. Spermine is a potentially toxic compound.
