Metabolite Identification
Common NameSpermine
DescriptionSpermine, also known as gerontine or musculamine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dialkylamines. These are organic compounds containing a dialkylamine group, characterized by two alkyl groups bonded to the amino nitrogen. Spermine is a drug which is used for nutritional supplementation, also for treating dietary shortage or imbalance. Spermine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Spermine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. 5'-Methylthioadenosine and spermine can be biosynthesized from S-adenosylmethioninamine and spermidine through the action of the enzyme spermine synthase. In cattle, spermine is involved in the metabolic pathway called spermidine and spermine biosynthesis pathway. Spermine is a potentially toxic compound.
