General description
Spermine is a polyamine involved in cellular metabolism and DNA stabilization. In molecular biology it can be used in buffers for purification of DNA.
Application
Used to precipitate DNA from low salt aqueous buffers.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Mixed NMDA agonist/antagonist at the polyamine site. Neuroprotective effects have been observed at high concentrations (1 mM), while neurotoxicity is observed at lower concentrations. It enhances agonist effectiveness at the strychnine-insensitive glycine site. Plays a role in cellular proliferation and differentiation; inhibits neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS).
