EC number

1.4.3.4

Accepted name

monoamine oxidase

Reaction

RCH₂NHR′ + H₂O + O₂ = RCHO + R′NH₂ + H₂O₂

Other name(s)

adrenalin oxidase, adrenaline oxidase, amine oxidase (ambiguous), amine oxidase (flavin-containing), amine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating) (flavin-containing), epinephrine oxidase, MAO, MAO A, MAO B, MAO-A, MAO-B, monoamine oxidase A, monoamine oxidase B, monoamine:O₂ oxidoreductase (deaminating), polyamine oxidase (ambiguous), serotonin deaminase, spermidine oxidase (ambiguous), spermine oxidase (ambiguous), tyraminase, tyramine oxidase

Systematic name

amine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating)

CAS registry number

9001-66-5

Comment

A mitochondrial outer-membrane flavoprotein (FAD) that catalyses the oxidative deamination of neurotransmitters and biogenic amines [3]. Acts on primary amines, and also on some secondary and tertiary amines. It differs from EC 1.4.3.21, primary-amine oxidase as it can oxidize secondary and tertiary amines but not methylamine. This enzyme is inhibited by acetylenic compounds such as chlorgyline, 1-deprenyl and pargyline but, unlike EC 1.4.3.21 and EC 1.4.3.22 (diamine oxidase), it is not inhibited by semicarbazide.

History

created 1961, modified 1983 (EC 1.4.3.9 created 1972, incorporated 1984), modified 2008
