ENZYME entry: EC 1.5.3.16

Accepted Name
Spermine oxidase.
Alternative Name(s)
SMO.
Reaction catalysed
Spermine + O(2) + H(2)O <=> spermidine + 3-aminopropanal + H(2)O(2)
Cofactor(s)
FAD.
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtPAO1) oxidizes norspermine to norspermidine with high efficiency.
  • The mammalian enzyme, encoded by the SMOX gene, is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of spermine at the exo (three-carbon) side of the tertiary amine.
  • No activity with spermidine.
  • Weak activity with N(1)-acetylspermine.
  • Differs in specificity from EC 1.5.3.13, EC 1.5.3.14, EC 1.5.3.15 and EC 1.5.3.17.
  • Formerly EC 1.5.3.11, EC 1.5.3.n1, EC 1.5.3.n2, EC 1.5.3.n3 and EC 1.5.3.n5.
