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.
Abbr
MAOA, Recombinant (Human)
Alias
MAO-A; MAOA
Source
Baculovirus infected BTI insect cells
Species
Human
Enzyme Commission Number
EC 1.4.3.4
CAS No.
231-791-2
Concentration
~2.5 mg per vial
Applications
Monoamine Oxidase A has been used in a study to assess abnormal behavior in a large kindred of males where a deficiency of enzymatic activity of monamine oxidase A was found. It has also been used in a study to investigate an ass ociation between smoking and the inhibition of MAOA.
