Abstract excerpt
Monoamine oxidase B catalytically oxidizes biogenic amines such as phenylethylamine and dopamine, and its activity is presumed to be related to particular behavioral traits. In this study, we first identified a single nucleotide polymorphism (T199C) located on the putative third exon of the canine monoamine oxidase B gene, which causes an amino acid substitution from cysteine to arginine. We then examined the...
