Synonyms: | putrescine anabolism from arginine via N-carbamoylputrescine, putrescine biosynthesis from arginine via N-carbamoylputrescine, putrescine formation from arginine via N-carbamoylputrescine, putrescine synthesis from arginine via N-carbamoylputrescine |
Definition: | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of putrescine, 1,4-diaminobutane, from other compounds, including arginine, via the intermediate N-carbamoylputrescine; in this pathway, arginine is converted to agmatine, and agmatine is converted to putrescine in two single enzymatic steps. |
