The polyamines are known to be essential for cellular proliferation. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of these amines, and activity is elevated in colorectal tumors and polyps. Two ODC genes (designated ODC1 and ODC2) were localized by somatic cell hybridization and in situ techniques to 2p25 and 7q31-qter, respectively. Investigation of the expression of ODC in colorectal neoplasia reveals a consistent increase in mRNA expression compared with normal adjacent mucosa and control mucosa, ranging from 1.3- to 12.2-fold. No amplification of the loci was seen. Comparison of ODC mRNA expression with ODC activity from the same samples revealed no direct correlation, suggesting that regulation of ODC in this system occurs at the posttranscriptional level.

D009955 Ornithine Decarboxylase A pyridoxal-phosphate protein, believed to be the rate-limiting compound in the biosynthesis of polyamines. It catalyzes the decarboxylation of ornithine to form putrescine, which is then linked to a propylamine moiety of decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine to form spermidine.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.
