Putrescine is an aliphatic amine and is positively charged. It acts as a precursor of spermine and plays a role in polyamine biosynthesis. Putrescine is found in several plants, animals, and bacteria. It plays a role in cell proliferation and cell growth in Escherichia coli. Putrescine is a component of agrochemicals, surfactants, pharmaceuticals, polymers, and additives.
