GO term: spermine transmembrane transporter activity Help



Ontology: Molecular Function (GO:0000297)

Definition: Catalysis of the transfer of spermine from one side of the membrane to the other. Spermine is a polybasic amine found in human sperm, in ribosomes and in some viruses, which is involved in nucleic acid packaging. Synthesis is regulated by ornithine decarboxylase which plays a key role in control of DNA replication.
