Description
Spermine is a biogenic polyamine formed from spermidine and occurs in almost all tissues. It is essential for both neoplastic and normal tissue growth and is involved in the modulation of calcium-dependent immune processes. Spermine inhibits NOS1 (nNOS). Spermine binds to and activates NMDA and has been shown to potentiate NMDA-induced currents in a concentration-dependent manner. Spermine is a GluR inhibitor.A NOS1 inhibitor, NMDA activator, and GluR inhibitor
