  <description>Cadaverine is an organic nitrogen compound with the chemical formula C5H14N2 and an average molecular weight of 102.18 g/mol. Cadaverine belongs to the amines, a subclass of organonitrogen compounds within the organic compounds.

This compound is found in or released from 27 recorded sources. These sources include electrical and electronic equipment, such as antennas, coils, communication cables or conductors, contacts, and conductors or conductive bodies characterised by the conductive materials. Within the category of food, food processing and cookware, it is associated with food preservation, fermentation processes for beer, the preparation of vinegar, the preparation of wort, and the preparation of wine or sparkling wine. Household cleaning and consumer products that release or contain the compound include soap detergents, bleaching agents, pipe accessories, cigar cigarettes, and perfumes within detergents and soaps. Additionally, it is found in building and construction materials, specifically floors and ceilings.

Cadaverine interacts with eight recorded protein targets. It acts as an inhibitor of 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate cytidylyltransferase (ispD). Other protein targets include carbonic anhydrase 1 (CA1), carbonic anhydrase 4 (CA4), carbonic anhydrase 6 (CA6), and four other proteins.</description>
