| Comments | A few proteins do not require ubiquitin modification for degradation. One such protein is mouse ornithine decarboxylase (MODC). MODC is the key enzyme in the biosynthesis of polyamines. This protein is known to be one of the most short lived proteins in mammalian cells, and its half-life is approximately 30 min. |
