N1-acetylpolyamine oxidase (EC 1.5.3.13 hPAO-1 mPAO hPAO) is an enzyme with system name N1-acetylpolyamine:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-acetamidopropanal-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction (1) N1-acetylspermidine + O2 + H2O putrescine + 3-acetamidopropanal + H2O2 (2) N1-acetylspermine + O2 + H2O spermidine + 3-acetamidopropanal + H2O2This enzyme also catalyses the reaction: N1N12-diacetylspermine + O2 + H2O N1-acetylspermidine + 3-acetamamidopropanal + H2O2.
