Carboxynorspermidine decarboxylase

Carboxynorspermidine decarboxylase (, carboxyspermidine decarboxylase, CANSDC, VC1623 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name carboxynorspermidine carboxy-lyase (bis(3-aminopropyl)amine-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (1) carboxynorspermidine $$\rightleftharpoons$$ bis(3-aminopropyl)amine + CO2
 * (2) carboxyspermidine $$\rightleftharpoons$$ spermidine + CO2

This enzyme contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.
