Amd1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable adenosylmethionine decarboxylase activity; identical protein binding activity; and putrescine binding activity. Predicted to be involved in S-adenosylmethionine metabolic process; spermidine biosynthetic process; and spermine biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cranium; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human AMD1 (adenosylmethionine decarboxylase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Amd1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
