Application
Putrescine dihydrochloride has been used:
- as a bioactive amine standard in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
- as a component of hormone mix supplemented to Dulbecco′s modified eagle medium (DMEM) to study its effects on neural stem cells
- as a supplement in DMEM for culturing of endometrial cancer cells
Biochem/physiol Actions
Binds to the polyamine modulatory site of the NMDA receptor and potentiates NMDA-induced currents; precursor of spermidine.
Putrescine is an aliphatic amine and is positively charged. It acts as a precursor of spermine and plays a role in polyamine biosynthesis. Putrescine is found in several plants, animals, and bacteria. It plays a role in cell proliferation and cell growth in Escherichia coli. Putrescine is a component of agrochemicals, surfactants, pharmaceuticals, polymers, and additives.
