OAZ2

Gene
OAZ2
Protein
Ornithine decarboxylase antizyme 2
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
189 amino acids
Function
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) antizyme protein that negatively regulates ODC activity and intracellular polyamine biosynthesis and uptake in response to increased intracellular polyamine levels. Binds to ODC monomers, inhibiting the assembly of the functional ODC homodimers. Does not target the ODC monomers for degradation, which allows a protein synthesis-independent restoration of ODC activity (PubMed:17900240). Involved in the translocation of AZIN2 from ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) to the cytosol (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the ODC antizyme family.
