N-Acetylputrescine (NAP) is an endogenous metabolite widely present in animals and plants. N-Acetylputrescine can be used as a biomarker for lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCCL) and Parkinson’s disease (PD) for disease diagnosis[1][2][3].
N-Acetylputrescine forms in human lymphocytes in the presence of [14C] putrescine[4].
