A mitochondrial outer-membrane flavoprotein (FAD) that catalyses the oxidative deamination of neurotransmitters and biogenic amines . Acts on primary amines, and also on some secondary and tertiary amines. It differs from EC 1.4.3.21, primary-amine oxidase as it can oxidize secondary and tertiary amines but not methylamine. This enzyme is inhibited by acetylenic compounds such as chlorgyline, 1-deprenyl and pargyline but, unlike EC 1.4.3.21 and EC 1.4.3.22 (diamine oxidase), it is not inhibited by semicarbazide.

amine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating)
A mitochondrial outer-membrane flavoprotein (FAD) that catalyses the oxidative deamination of neurotransmitters and biogenic amines [3]. Acts on primary amines, and also on some secondary and tertiary amines. It differs from EC 1.4.3.21, primary-amine oxidase as it can oxidize secondary and tertiary amines but not methylamine. This enzyme is inhibited by acetylenic compounds such as chlorgyline, 1-deprenyl and pargyline but, unlike EC 1.4.3.21 and EC 1.4.3.22 (diamine oxidase), it is not inhibited by semicarbazide.
lipid environment is essential for enzymatic activity, lipid microenvironment may regulate the mode of action of the enzyme in the mitochondrial outer membrane
when enzyme liberated by methyl ethyl ketone extraction Km about 3times lower than that for enzyme bound to the mitochondria or solubilzed by Triton X-100
both (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-1-(1-[11C]methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-2-phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)ethanone are very promising tracers for positron emission tomography of the MAO-A enzyme in brain. The carbon-11-labeling reaction is fairly simple and robust. Yields of more than 1 GBq are routinely obtained and with high specific activity of the final product. The metabolism of (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-1-(1-[11C]methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-2-phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)ethanone is relatively slow in plasma of living pigs, in contrast to [11C]harmine, which is difficult to detect in plasma at times after 10 min. Parametric maps of [11C](R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-1-(1-[11C]methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-2-phenyl-2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)ethanone binding are qualitatively very comparable to those of [11C]harmine
