Carboxynorspermidine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.96, carboxyspermidine decarboxylase, CANSDC, VC1623 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name carboxynorspermidine carboxy-lyase (bis(3-aminopropyl)amine-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
(1) carboxynorspermidine
⇌
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
bis(3-aminopropyl)amine + CO2
(2) carboxyspermidine
⇌
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
spermidine + CO2
This enzyme contains pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.
