UniProtKB accession:  A5HNV6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Probably has no catalytic activity due to the loss of several residues required for processing and catalysis (PubMed:17485680). Forms a complex with S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase AdoMetDC which is essential to activate AdoMetDC (PubMed:17485680, PubMed:18949025). Required for the biosynthesis of the polyamine spermidine (PubMed:18949025). Required for growth and survival during the bloodstream life cycle stage (PubMed:18949025).
