Descriptor English: Biogenic Polyamines
Descriptor Spanish: Poliaminas Biogénicas
Descriptor poliaminas biógenas
Scope note: Aminas biógenas con más de un grupo amino. Son compuestos alifáticos de cadena larga que contienen múltiples grupos amino y-o imino. Debido a la disposición lineal de la carga positiva en estas moléculas, las poliaminas se unen electrostáticamente a los ribosomas, ADN y ARN.

Entry term(s): Polyamines, Biogenic
Tree number(s): D02.092.211.415
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D015317
Scope note: Biogenic amines having more than one amine group. These are long-chain aliphatic compounds that contain multiple amino and/or imino groups. Because of the linear arrangement of positive charge on these molecules, polyamines bind electrostatically to ribosomes, DNA, and RNA.
