N-Acetylputrescine (NacPut), also known as monoacetylputrescine, is an

γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from putrescine.[1][2][3]

The

γ-aminobutyraldehyde (GABAL or GABA aldehyde) as an intermediate instead.[1] It has been estimated that about 2 to 3% of GABA is synthesized from putrescine in the mouse brain, whereas in the case of the rat brain, the amount was negligible.[1]

In 2021, it was discovered that MAO-B does not mediate
