SMS spermine synthase

Gene ID: 6611, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SRS; SpS; MRSR; SPMSY; MRXSSR

Summary

This gene encodes a protein belonging to the spermidine/spermin synthase family and catalyzes the production of spermine from spermidine. Pseudogenes of this gene are located on chromosomes 1, 5, 6 and X. Mutations in this gene cause an X-linked intellectual disability called Snyder-Robinson Syndrome (SRS). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
