Rattus norvegicus | retinoic acid suppresses ODC enzyme expression. In retinoic acid-untreated rat, ODC activity significantly increases with a peak at 1 day after partial hepatectomy, and declines thereafter. In retinoic acid-treated rats, the peak of its activity shifts to 2 days after partial hepatectomy and the amount of its peak activity is only two-thirds of that in retinoic acid-untreated rat at 1 day after partial hepatectomy | down |
Rattus norvegicus | partial hepatectomy/liver regeneration induces ODC enzyme expression.

physiological function | ODC catalyzes the synthesis of putrescine from ornithine and is a rate-limiting enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis. The enzyme is involved in cell growth and its activity increases rapidly and markedly in regenerating liver after partial hepatectomy. Ornithine, which is a substrate of ODC, is a key metabolite in the urea cycle and the first precursor of the polyamine pathway, it increases progressively in the liver of partially hepatectomized rats, as a consequence of the increased flow of metabolites through the urea cycle. Polyamines, ODC-catalyzed products, play important roles in cell growth and differentiation due to the modification of proteins and are good substrates of transglutaminase 2 (TG2). TG2 and ornithine decarboxylase conversely regulate cell growth and differentiation, overview | Rattus norvegicus |
