Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The dopaminergic system is functionally compromised in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The activity of Monoamine Oxidase B (MAOB), the enzyme involved in the degradation of dopamine, is increased during AD. Also, increased expression of MAOB occurs in the postmortem hippocampus and neocortex of patients with AD. The MAOB rs1799836 polymorphism modulates MAOB transcription, consequently influencing protein...
