Purification of human plasma catalase and monoamine oxidase and the partial characterization of monoamine oxidase. 1984

M M Oosthuizen, and B van Wyk, and J C Schabort

Human plasma catalase and monoamine oxidase were purified for the first time to homogeneity. Monoamine oxidase purified 3200-fold with the aid of DEAE-Sepharose Cl-6B and Sepharose Cl-6B chromatography was devoid of catalase, aldehyde dehydrogenase and reductase activity. Homogeneous catalase was obtained during DEAE-Sepharose C1-6B chromatography of monoamine oxidase. Monoamine oxidase was characterized physico-chemically in terms of molecular weight, electrophoretic mobility, iso-electric point, amino acid composition and specific activity. The molecular weight was estimated to be 234.5 K by exclusion chromatography and with iso-electric focusing the pI was estimated to be 5.6.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007526 Isoelectric Point The pH in solutions of proteins and related compounds at which the dipolar ions are at a maximum. Isoelectric Points,Point, Isoelectric,Points, Isoelectric
D008970 Molecular Weight The sum of the weight of all the atoms in a molecule. Molecular Weights,Weight, Molecular,Weights, Molecular
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.

Amine Oxidase (Flavin-Containing),MAO,MAO-A,MAO-B,Monoamine Oxidase A,Monoamine Oxidase B,Type A Monoamine Oxidase,Type B Monoamine Oxidase,Tyramine Oxidase,MAO A,MAO B,Oxidase, Monoamine,Oxidase, Tyramine
D002374 Catalase An oxidoreductase that catalyzes the conversion of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE to water and oxygen. It is present in many animal cells. A deficiency of this enzyme results in ACATALASIA. Catalase A,Catalase T,Manganese Catalase,Mn Catalase
