Summary: Predicted to enable ornithine decarboxylase activity. Predicted to be involved in putrescine biosynthetic process from ornithine. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in embryonic/larval fat body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in esophagus squamous cell carcinoma; hepatocellular carcinoma; and liver cirrhosis. Orthologous to several human genes including ODC1 (ornithine decarboxylase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
