Abstract
Monoamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.4; MAO) is an insoluble enzyme which is widespread in the body (for review, see Blaschko, 1952). Particularly high concentrations are present in the brain, liver and salivary glands. Within the cell, the enzyme is located predominantly in mitochondria, probably in the outer membrane (Schnaitman et al., 1967), although activity has been detected in the microsomal fraction of certain organs (de Champlain et al., 1969). MAO catalyses the oxidative deamination to an aldehyde of a number of physiologically occurring monoamines, including the catecholamines and 5-hydroxytryptamine.
