The effects of polyamines on cardiac protein biosynthesis
Recent Advances in Studies on Cardiac Structure and Metabolism
|January 1, 1975
Abstract:
Putrescine, spermine, and spermidine were able to stimulate cell-free protein biosynthesis at low Mg++ ion concentrations. The addition of polyamines to the perfusate of an isolated perfused rat heart preparation caused an increased rate of [14C]phenylalanine incorporation into myocardial protein. Spermine increased the uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid into the myocardium.
