Summary

Name MAOA
Full Name Amine oxidase [flavin-containing] A
Synonyms Monoamine oxidase type A, MAO-A |
Primary ID P21397
Links - -
Type protein
Relations 9
Pathways Catecholamine metabolism
Inhibitors Phenelzine; moclobemide
Function Catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic and xenobiotic amines and has important functions in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. MAOA preferentially oxidizes biogenic amines such as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine and epinephrine.
