polyamineissa

Polyamines are organic molecules containing multiple amino groups. They are essential for cell growth and function in all living organisms, from bacteria to humans. These compounds play critical roles in DNA and RNA structure, protein synthesis, cell proliferation, and differentiation. Common polyamines include putrescine, spermidine, and spermine. Their synthesis and degradation are tightly regulated within cells. Imbalances in polyamine levels have been linked to various physiological and pathological conditions, including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and aging. The study of polyamines, known as polyaminology, explores their biosynthesis, metabolism, and diverse biological functions. Researchers are investigating polyamines as potential therapeutic targets for a range of diseases due to their fundamental involvement in cellular processes.
