Term ID

GO:0033389

Synonyms

• putrescine anabolism from arginine, using agmatinase
• putrescine biosynthesis from arginine, using agmatinase
• putrescine formation from arginine, using agmatinase
• putrescine synthesis from arginine, using agmatinase

Definition

The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of putrescine, 1,4-diaminobutane, from other compounds, including arginine; in this pathway, arginine is converted to agmatine, and agmatine is converted to putrescine in a single enzymatic step.
