The deamination of n-pentylamine by monoamine oxidase and a semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase of rat heart. 1983

C Guffroy, and C J Fowler, and M Strolin Benedetti

n-Pentylamine is deaminated by homogenates of rat heart. Clorgyline inhibition curves at 10 and 100 microM n-pentylamine indicated that this substrate was deaminated by MAO-A, -B and a clorgyline-resistant amine oxidase sensitive to inhibition by semicarbazide. These results have been compared with two other commonly used monoamine substrates, beta-phenethylamine and benzylamine.

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.

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.
