- The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the antizyme inhibitor family; which plays a role in cell growth and proliferation by maintaining polyamine homeostasis within the cell. Antizyme inhibitors are homologs of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC; the key enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis) that have lost the ability to decarboxylase ornithine; however; retain the ability to bind to antizymes. Antizymes negatively regulate intracellular polyamine levels by binding to ODC and targeting it for degradation; as well as by inhibiting polyamine uptake. Antizyme inhibitors function as positive regulators of polyamine levels by sequestering antizymes and neutralizing their effect. This gene encodes antizyme inhibitor 2; the second member of this gene family. Like antizyme inhibitor 1; antizyme inhibitor 2 interacts with all 3 antizymes and stimulates ODC activity and polyamine uptake. However; unlike antizyme inhibitor 1; which is ubiquitously expressed and localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm; antizyme inhibitor 2 is predominantly expressed in the brain and testis and localized in the endoplasmic reticulum-golgi intermediate compartment. Recent studies indicate that antizyme inhibitor 2 is also expressed in specific cell types in ovaries; adrenal glands and pancreas; and in mast cells. The exact function of this gene is not known; however; available data suggest its role in cell growth; spermiogenesis; vesicular trafficking and secretion. Accumulation of antizyme inhibitor 2 has also been observed in brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. There has been confusion in literature and databases over the nomenclature of this gene; stemming from an earlier report that a human cDNA clone (identical to ODCp/AZIN2) had arginine decarboxylase (ADC) activity (PMID:14738999). Subsequent studies in human and mouse showed that antizyme inhibitor 2 was devoid of arginine decarboxylase activity (PMID:19956990). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene.
