Other name(s)
diamine oxidase,
diamino oxhydrase,
histaminase,
amine oxidase,
monoamine oxidase,
amine oxidase (pyridoxal containing),
benzylamine oxidase,
histamine deaminase,
histamine oxidase,
Cu-amine oxidase,
amine oxygen oxidoreductase,
diamine:O2 oxidoreductase (deaminating),

SSAO
Systematic name
amine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating) (copper-containing)
CAS registry number
9001-53-0
Comment
A group of enzymes including those oxidizing primary monoamines, diamines and histamine. They are copper quinoproteins. One form of EC 1.3.1.15 orotate reductase (NADPH) from rat kidney also catalyses this reaction.
