In the rat ventral prostate gland the biosynthesis of putrescine, a precursor of spermidine and spermine, is shown to occur by the direct decarboxylation of l-ornithine. Some properties of a soluble pyridoxal phosphate-dependent l-ornithine decarboxylase are described. The findings are discussed in relation to other enzymic reactions involved in the biosynthesis of polyamines by the prostate gland.
在大鼠腹侧前列腺中，腐胺（精胺和亚精胺的前体）的生物合成显示是通过L-鸟氨酸的直接脱羧作用进行的。本文描述了一种可溶性磷酸吡哆醛依赖性L-鸟氨酸脱羧酶的一些特性。结合前列腺中多胺生物合成所涉及的其他酶促反应对这些发现进行了讨论。
