Abstract excerpt
Monoamine oxidases, type A and type B, are principal enzymes for the degradation of biogenic amines, including catecholamines and serotonin. These isozymes have been implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders. Previously, cDNA clones for both MAO-A and MAO-B have been sequenced and the genes encoding them have been localized to human chromosome Xp11.23-Xp11.4. In this work, we isolated human genomic clones spanning...
