Protein attributes

Sequence length	456 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level

General annotation (Comments)

Catalytic activity	L-ornithine = putrescine + CO2.
Cofactor	Pyridoxal phosphate By similarity.
Pathway	Amine and polyamine biosynthesis; putrescine biosynthesis via L-ornithine pathway; putrescine from L-ornithine: step 1/1.
Developmental stage	Expression is first detected at the animal pole at stage 9. During neurula stages it is found both in the extreme anterior and posterior part of the dorsal body axis. In tailbud stages the expression is further shifted to both the tail and head areas and gradually restricted to distinct tissues: forebrain, inner layer of epidermis of the head area, stomodeal-hypophyseal anlage, frontal gland, ear vesicle, branchial arches, the front tip of neural tube and proctodeum.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the Orn/Lys/Arg decarboxylase class-II family.
