Description
MAO's are proteins of the mitochondrial membrane. These enzymes are responsible for catalyzing oxidative deamination of endo-and xenobiotic amines. Substrate specificity differs for each isozyme.

Applications
Monoamine Oxidase A has been used in a study to assess abnormal behavior in a large kindred of males where a deficiency of enzymatic activity of monamine oxidase A was found. It has also been used in a study to investigate an ass ociation between smoking and the inhibition of MAOA.
