Diamine acetyltransferase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SAT1 gene found on the X chromosome.

Function

Spermidine/spermine N(1)-acetyltransferase (SPD/SPM acetyltransferase) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolic pathway of polyamine metabolism. It catalyzes the N(1)-acetylation of spermidine and spermine and, by the successive activity of polyamine oxidase, spermine can be converted to spermidine and spermidine to putrescine.

Clinical significance

An association with Keratosis follicularis spinulosa decalvans has been suggested.

Elevated levels of RNA transcripts of SAT1 in the bloodstream have been associated with a higher risk of suicide.
