Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) are a class of enzyme that are localized to the outer membrane of the mitochondria and catalyzes the oxidative deamination of different monoamines. There are two subtypes of MAOs: <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_697/Mao-a/1'>MAO-A</scene> and <scene name='Sandbox_Reserved_697/Mao-b/1'>MAO-B</scene>, which are closely related in stucture, but each has different substrate and inhibitor specificities. The two subtypes of MAO shown were those of humans, which can vary between different species of mammals. Note that human MAO-A is monomeric while human MAO-B forms a dimer. | Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) are a class of enzyme that are localized to the outer membrane of the mitochondria and catalyzes the oxidative deamination of different monoamines.

Monoamine Oxidases
Monoamine oxidases (MAOs) are a class of enzyme that are localized to the outer membrane of the mitochondria and catalyzes the oxidative deamination of different monoamines. There are two subtypes of MAOs: and , which are closely related in stucture, but each has different substrate and inhibitor specificities. The two subtypes of MAO shown were those of humans, which can vary between different species of mammals. Note that human MAO-A is monomeric while human MAO-B forms a dimer.
Substrates for MAO-A include dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. The is located in the center of the protein shown in green. Additionally, MAO-A (and MAO-B) bind flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) at an shown in cyan which also is involved with the activity of the enzyme. This site of FAD covalent attachment is very conserved among MAOs. MAOs are anchored into the outer membrane of the mitochondria by a shown in yellow.
