Preferred Label : monoamine oxidase;
MeSH definition : An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of naturally occurring monoamines.
It is a flavin-containing enzyme that is localized in mitochondrial membranes, whether
in nerve terminals, the liver, or other organs. Monoamine oxidase is important in
regulating the metabolic degradation of catecholamines and serotonin in neural or
target tissues. Hepatic monoamine oxidase has a crucial defensive role in inactivating
circulating monoamines or those, such as tyramine, that originate in the gut and are
absorbed into the portal circulation. (From Goodman and Gilman's, The Pharmacological
Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p415) EC 1.4.3.4.;
MeSH synonym : amine oxidase (flavin-containing); oxidase, tyramine; oxidase, monoamine; tyramine oxidase; mao;
