Functional narrative |
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) dependent homodimeric enzyme, which belongs to the Orn/Lys/Arg decarboxylase class-II family. It is a recognized drug target against African sleeping sickness in the host Trypanosoma brucei. ODC catalyzes the first committed (rate-determining) step in the biosynthetic pathway of the polyamines. Polyamines are ubiquitous to all cells and are required for cell growth and differentiation. The functions of the disordered regions are not known.
