Aspects on diamine oxidase activity and its determination. 1978

A C Andersson, and S Henningsson, and L Persson, and E Rosengren

Homogenate of guinea-pig liver and human placenta, tissues known to be rich in diamine oxidase, were incubated with 14C-putrescine and the metabolites formed were determined. In the incubate of guinea-pig liver, the major metabolites were GABA and some unidentified compound(s); delta1-pyrroline and 14CO2 were also obtained. In both the maternal and fetal parts of human placenta, radioactive GABA and the unidentified compound(s) as well as delta1-pyrroline were found. The results indicate that GABA is an important intermediate in putrescine metabolism. Determination of the amount of delta1-pyrroline is thus not well suited as a measure of the diamine oxidase activity in tissues.

D010920 Placenta A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM.

D006631 Amine Oxidase (Copper-Containing) A group of enzymes including those oxidizing primary monoamines, diamines, and histamine. They are copper proteins, and, as their action depends on a carbonyl group, they are sensitive to inhibition by semicarbazide.
