Cadaverine, an organic compound generated during protein breakdown in the putrefaction process, emits a repugnant odor. It is classified as a diamine due to its possession of two amino groups and is found in decaying animal tissue and putrefying fish. This compound finds application in various industries and scientific endeavors, particularly in the laboratory where it aids in the study of the biochemical effects of putrefaction and related processes. The believed mode of action of cadaverine involves the inhibition of specific enzymes responsible for protein breakdown. Notably, cadaverine is thought to hinder the activity of proteases, enzymes for breaking down proteins into smaller molecules. Furthermore, it is believed to impede the function of aminopeptidases, enzymes responsible for breaking down peptides into amino acids.
