| Application: | 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 association between smoking and the inhibition of MAOA. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | 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. |
| General description: | Monoamine Oxidase A contains binding sites for 8α-S-cysteinyl-FAD. |
| General description: | Monoamine oxidases metabolize biogenic amines in the central nervous system and the peripheral tissue. |
