The polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine are organic cations shown to participate in a bewildering number of cellular reactions, yet their exact functions in intermediary metabolism and specific interactions with cellular components remain largely elusive. Pharmacological interventions have demonstrated convincingly

The biochemistry and biological function of the naturally occurring polyamines, putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, have been reviewed with special reference to animal organisms. These compounds are universally distributed in all living material. Their biosynthesis from ornithine and methionine is accurately
