| Accession | GenProp0642 |
| Name | putrescine biosynthesis from arginine utilizing agmatinase |
| Type | PATHWAY |
| Description | L-arginine can be converted to the polyamine putrescine via this pathway for the purposes of arginine catabolism or for the biosynthesis of spermidine. This version of the pathway utilizes agmatinase while another does the same reaction in two steps via carbamoylputrescine. |
| JCVI Role | Polyamine biosynthesis |
