antizyymiinhibiittoreina
Antizyymiinhibiittoreina, also known as antizyme inhibitors, are proteins that regulate the activity of antizymes. Antizymes are a family of small proteins that play a crucial role in regulating cellular processes, particularly the synthesis of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), a key enzyme in polyamine metabolism. Polyamines are essential for cell growth and proliferation.
Antizymes inhibit ODC by binding to it and targeting it for proteasomal degradation. This mechanism ensures
The expression of antizyme inhibitors is often induced by elevated levels of polyamines. This creates a feedback
