products description :
Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) is a flavin-containing mitochondrial enzyme, which catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic and xenobiotic monoamines. It regulates the metabolic degradation of catecholamines and serotonin in neural and other target tissues. MAO-B is found platelets and in dopamine-secreting neurons in the brain. Increased levels of MAO B that have been identified in brain of Alzheimer's patients. Monoamine oxidases (MAO B and MAO A) are well-known targets for antidepressant drugs and for drugs used to treat neurological disorders and aging diseases, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Recombinant MAO-B comprises a 488 amino acid fragment (2-489) corresponding to the cytoplasmic domain fragment of the mature MAO-B protein and is expressed in E Coli with an amino-terminal hexahistidine tag. This product is not intended for therapeutic use.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the flavin monoamine oxidase family. It is a enzyme located in the mitochondrial outer membrane. It catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic and xenobiotic amines and plays an important role in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous sysytem and peripheral tissues. This protein preferentially degrades benzylamine and phenylethylamine. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
