MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes the rate-limiting enzyme of the polyamine biosynthesis pathway which catalyzes ornithine to putrescine. The activity level for the enzyme varies in response to growth-promoting stimuli and exhibits a high turnover rate in comparison to other mammalian proteins. Originally localized to both chromosomes 2 and 7, the gene encoding this enzyme has been determined to be located on 2p25, with a pseudogene located on 7q31-qter. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]
PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null embryos die prior to gastrulation. [provided by MGI curators]

Nature of Mutation

DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified a G to A transition at base pair 17556229 in the Genbank genomic region NC_000078 for the Odc1 gene on chromosome 12 (TCCCTCTTAG ->TCCCTCTTAA). Two transcripts of the Odc1 gene are displayed on Ensembl. The mutation is located within intron 6 from the ATG exon, one nucleotide to the next exon. The Odc1 gene contains 12 total exons using Genbank record NM_013614.2. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).
Protein Function and Prediction

The Odc1 gene encodes the 461 amino acid ornithine decarboxylase, the first enzyme in polyamine synthesis. The proton donor occurs at amino acid 360 (Uniprot P00860). Homozygous null mice die prior to gastrulation.  In humans, a minor ODC1 allele reduces the risk of colonic adenoma recurrence in patients who take aspirin.
