Notes: N1-Acetylspermidine is an acetyl derivative of spermidine (Item No. 14918) that acts as a substrate for polyamine oxidase (PAO).{26260} In peroxisomes, PAO oxidizes N1-acetylspermidine to 3-acetamidopropanal and putrescine, a positively charged polyamine that binds DNA and is involved in various cellular processes including cell division, differentiation, and membrane function.{26259,23742,23743,12989} N1-Acetylspermidine has been used to examine the interaction between DNA and polyamines during the cleavage of phosphodiester bonds at apurinic/apyrimidinic sites in DNA.{27034}
