Metabolite Identification
Common NamePutrescine
DescriptionPutrescine, also known as 1,4-butanediamine or 1,4-diaminobutane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monoalkylamines. These are organic compounds containing an primary aliphatic amine group. Putrescine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Putrescine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Putrescine is a potentially toxic compound.
