NATE-0441
Description
MAO's are proteins of the mitochondrial membrane. These enzymes are responsible for catalyzing oxidative deamination of endo-and xenobiotic amines. Substrate specificity differs for each isozyme.

231-791-2
Concentration
~2.5 mg per vial
Applications
Drugs that inhibit monoamine oxidase B activity are used for the treatment of various neurological disorders including depression. Monoamine Oxidase B has been used in a study to assess the effect of age in 23 different regions of the human brain. It has also been used in a study to determine the specific l ocations of monoamine oxidase in the human brain.
