Diamine acetyltransferase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SAT1 gene found on the X chromosome.[1][2][3]

Function

Spermidine/spermine N(1)-acetyltransferase (SPD/SPM acetyltransferase) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolic pathway of polyamine metabolism. It catalyzes the N(1)-acetylation of spermidine and spermine and, by the successive activity of polyamine oxidase, spermine can be converted to spermidine and spermidine to putrescine.[3]

Clinical significance

An association with Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans has been suggested.[4]

Elevated levels of RNA transcripts of SAT1 in the bloodstream have been associated with a higher risk of suicide.[5][6][7]
