[Substrate specificity of monoamine oxidase in rat liver mitochondria using an air-gap electrode]. 1982

E B Nikol'skaia, and O V Iagodina, and V M Kostrova

The dependency of initial rates of tyramine, tryptamine, serotonin and benzylamine reactions of deamination catalyzed by rat liver monoamine oxidase from its concentrations was studied potentiometrically using an air-gap electrode. The kinetic deamination parameters, i.e. Michaelis constants an maximum velocities, were determined at pH values of 7.6 and 9.0. The inhibition of tyramine deamination at high concentrations of the latter was found for a pH value of 9.0 and the activation of serotonin deamination by its high concentrations for pH values of 7.6 and 9.0. The effects studied may be interpreted in terms of the allosteric nature of MAO.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008297 Male Males
D008930 Mitochondria, Liver Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.

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.
