Abstract excerpt
Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is a key enzyme responsible for the degradation of serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, and phenylethylamine. It is an outer membrane mitochondrial enzyme existing in two isoforms, A and B. We have recently generated 14 site-directed mutants of human MAO A and B, and we found that four key amino acids, Lys-305, Trp-397, Tyr-407, and Tyr-444, in MAO A and their corresponding amino acids in...
