Protein
Diamine acetyltransferase
Organism
Cryptosporidium parvum (strain Iowa II)
Function
Enzyme which catalyzes the acetylation of polyamines. Displays higher substrate specificity for spermine than for spermidine. May function to acetylate host-derived polyamines, thus alleviating the necessity for de novo synthesis of these molecules.
Similarity
Belongs to the acetyltransferase family.
