Amine oxidase [flavin-containing] A (MAOA)

Catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic and xenobiotic amines and has important functions in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. MAOA preferentially oxidizes biogenic amines like 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine and epinephrine.
