    Glossary Putrescine

    foul-smelling compound from amino acid breakdown in organisms

    Putrescine is a foul-smelling organic compound that is produced during the breakdown of amino acids in living and dead organisms. It is one of the polyamines involved in cellular metabolism and is often associated with the process of tissue decomposition. In a biological context, putrescine plays a role in cell growth and differentiation, but its accumulation can be indicative of pathological conditions or tissue damage.
