Descriptor espermidina
Scope note: Poliamina formada a partir de la putrescina. Existe en casi todos los tejidos, asociada a los ácidos nucleicos. Se encuentra como catión en todos los valores de pH y se cree que ayuda en la estabilización de algunas membranas y estructuras de ácidos nucleicos. Es un procursor de la espermina.
