Chemical Information
FooDB NamePutrescine
DescriptionPutrescine, also known as 1,4-butanediamine or 1,4-diaminobutane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monoalkylamines. These are organic compounds containing an primary aliphatic amine group. Putrescine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Putrescine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. S-adenosylmethioninamine and putrescine can be converted into 5'-methylthioadenosine and spermidine through the action of the enzyme spermidine synthase. In humans, putrescine is involved in the metabolic disorder called hypermethioninemia. Outside of the human body, Putrescine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as grape wines, wheats, and barley and in a lower concentration in dills, turnips, and carrots. Putrescine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as chestnuts, cardamoms, tinda, apples, and asian pears. This could make putrescine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Putrescine is a potentially toxic compound.
