[Properties of monoamine oxidases from myocardial mitochondria]. 1977

R S Krivchenkova, and E G Brusova

Mitochondrial monoamine oxidases from rabbit and rat heart muscles varied distinctly in the sensitivity to the effect of selective irreversible inhibitors clorgyline and deprenyl. In presence of mitochondrial fragments from rabbit heart oxidation of phenylethylamine, tyramine, benzylamine and triptamine was highly sensitive to the effect of deprenyl. Very low concentrations of clorgyline inhibited oxidation of these amines in samples containing rat heart mitochondrial fragments. Rabbit heart mitochondrial fragments appear to contain considerable amounts of monoamine oxidases of "B" type and rat heart mitochondrial fragments--the monoamine oxidases of "A" type. A highly sensitive fluorescent method was used for estimation of the monoamine oxidase activity; it was based on the extinguishing by hydrogen peroxide in presence of peroxidase of the scopolethine fluorescence.

D008995 Monoamine Oxidase An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of naturally occurring monoamines. It is a flavin-containing enzyme that is localized in mitochondrial membranes, whether in nerve terminals, the liver, or other organs. Monoamine oxidase is important in regulating the metabolic degradation of catecholamines and serotonin in neural or target tissues. Hepatic monoamine oxidase has a crucial defensive role in inactivating circulating monoamines or those, such as tyramine, that originate in the gut and are absorbed into the portal circulation.
