Spermidine N(1)-acetyltransferase

UniProtKB accession:  Q9KL03

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the protection against polyamine toxicity by regulating their concentration. Catalyzes the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA) to the primary amino groups of spermidine to yield N(1)- and N(8)-acetylspermidine. It can use polyamines such as spermine and N(1)-acetylspermine, but not putrescine or cadaverine.
