S-Adenosylmethioninamine is a substrate that is required for the biosynthesis of polyamines including spermidine, spermine, and thermospermine. [1] It is produced by decarboxylation of S-adenosyl methionine.

This reaction is catalyzed by S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase. [2] The enzyme binds to S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) and removes the carboxyl group from the methionine. Once formed, S-adenosylmethioninamine donates its aminopropyl group to synthesize polyamines [3] . Polyamines are important for DNA stability, RNA function, and cell growth. [4]
