Assay Procedures for Polyamines and GABA in Animal Tissues with Special Reference to Dansylation Methods

  • Chapter
Research Methods in Neurochemistry

Abstract

The term polyamine is usually used to designate spermidine (N-(3-aminopropyl)-l,4-diaminobutane) and spermine (N,N’ -bis-(3-aminopropyl)-l,4-diaminobutane). However, for convenience in the present chapter the term will also be used to include putrescine (1,4-diaminobutane), the physiological precursor of spermine, spermidine, and other diamines.
