is a "flavin protein" containing the α- Monoamine oxidase (MAO, EC1.4.3.4) Mercaptopropionicacid in the outer membrane of mitochondria of cells. Its main function in vivo is to catalyze the metabolism of endogenous and exogenous monoamine substances. Under the action of MAO, monoamines are oxidized to produce deamination. MAO is ubiquitous in central nervous system and nerve endings, and it is mainly located on the outer membrane of mitochondria of tissues such as brain, liver and intestinal mucosa.
MAO can catalyze 4-dimethylambenzylamine to produce p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde. p-Dimethylaminobenzaldehyde has a characteristic absorption peak at 355 nm. The activity of MAO can be calculated indirectly by analyzing the production of p- dimethylaminobenzaldehyde.
