Background Descriptions | Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is an enzyme of the mitochondrial outer membrane and catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic amines throughout the body (1). MAO is critical in the neuronal metabolism of catecholamine and indolamine transmitters (2). Cultured skin fibroblasts show both MAO-A and MAO-B and both MAOs differ in molecular structure (1). MAO-A, the primary type in fibroblasts, preferentially degrades serotonin and norepinephrine (3). Only MAO-B is present in platelets and only MAO-A is present in trophoblasts (1). MAO-B, the primary type found not only in platelets but also in the brain of man and other primates, preferentially degrades phenylethylamine and benzylamine (3). MAO has been of particular interest to psychiatry and genetics because of the suggestion that low activity is a ‘genetic marker’ for schizophrenia (4). The genes which encode MAO-A and MAO-B map to human chromosome Xp11.23 (5). |

Function | Catalyzes the oxidative deamination of primary and some secondary amines such as neurotransmitters, and exogenous amines including the tertiary amine, neurotoxin 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6- tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), with concomitant reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide and participates in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues (PubMed:11049757, PubMed:11134050, PubMed:20493079, PubMed:8316221, PubMed:8665924). Preferentially degrades benzylamine and phenylethylamine (PubMed:11049757, PubMed:11134050, PubMed:20493079, PubMed:8316221, PubMed:8665924). |
Cellular Location | Mitochondrion outer membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side |
