Description
Monoamine oxdiases are enzymes bound to the outer membrane of mitochondria and they catalyze the oxidative deamination of monoamines.
Abbreviation: MAO
MitoPedia topics:
Enzyme
Oxygen is used to remove an amine group from a molecule, resulting in the corresponding aldehyde and ammonia. Monoamine oxidases contain the covalently bound cofactor FAD and are, thus, classified as flavoproteins.
