non-specific polyamine oxidase

A flavoprotein (FAD). The non-specific polyamine oxidases may differ from each other considerably. The enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae shows a rather broad specificity and also oxidizes N8-acetylspermidine. The enzyme from Ascaris suum shows high activity with spermine and spermidine, but also oxidizes norspermine. The enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana shows high activity with spermidine, but also oxidizes other polyamines.The specific polyamine oxidases are classified as EC 1.5.3.13 (N1-acetylpolyamine oxidase), EC 1.5.3.14 (polyamine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)), EC 1.5.3.15 (N8-acetylspermidine oxidase (propane-1,3-diamine-forming)) and EC 1.5.3.16 (spermine oxidase).
