putrescine biosynthetic process from arginine via N-carbamoylputrescine

Term ID

GO:0033390

Synonyms

• putrescine anabolism from arginine via N-carbamoylputrescine
• putrescine biosynthesis from arginine via N-carbamoylputrescine
• putrescine formation from arginine via N-carbamoylputrescine
• putrescine synthesis from arginine via N-carbamoylputrescine

Definition

The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of putrescine, 1,4-diaminobutane, from other compounds, including arginine, via the intermediate N-carbamoylputrescine; in this pathway, arginine is converted to agmatine, and agmatine is converted to putrescine in two single enzymatic steps.
