It possesses a mass of approximately 59 kDa. This enzyme is found localized in the outer mitochondrial membrane of cells specifically in high concentrations in the brain liver and intestine. MAO-A plays an important role in the breakdown of monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin norepinephrine and dopamine which are critical for normal brain function.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nMAO-A acts to maintain proper neurotransmitter levels by catalyzing the oxidative deamination of monoamines. It is not part of a larger protein complex but functions independently to influence monoamine balance. Through its enzymatic activity MAO-A regulates several physiological processes including mood and emotional responses by controlling neurotransmitter availability and preventing their accumulation to neurotoxic levels.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nMAO-A operates within the catabolic pathways that reduce the bioavailability of monoamines. It pairs with proteins like Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) in the metabolic degradation of catecholamines. This pathway is integral to managing the equilibrium of mood-related neurotransmitters and involves complex interactions with other enzymatic systems including MAO-B which targets different substrates.\u003cbr\u003e\nMAO-A is closely associated with psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety. Altered MAO-A activity can dysregulate monoamine levels contributing to these disorders. Additionally research links MAO-A dysregulation to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease where imbalances in monoamine levels play a role. This enzyme interacts with proteins involved in early stages of these diseases highlighting its potential as a target for therapeutic interventions using MAO inhibitors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852598825129,"sku":"ab200752","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab200752","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
