'''Spermidine/spermine N-acetyltransferase''' (SSAT) or '''Spermidine N-acetyltransferase''' catalyzes the acetylation of spermidine and spermine. SSAT regulates cellular polyamine homeostasis by degrading polyamines via their acetylation. SSAT activity is regulated by polyamine concentration and various toxins, hormones and natural products<ref>PMID:18349109</ref>.
