Monoamine oxidase B (MAOB) is a flavin monoamine oxidase that catalyzes oxidative deamination of biogenic and xenobiotic amines. MAOB is found in the mitochondrial outer membrane. Dopamine is a major substrate of MAOB making it a target for the potential treatment of Parkinson's disease and obesity.
Synonyms: Anti-MGC26382; Anti-Monoamine oxidase B
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-MAOB polyclonal antibody is used to tag monoamine oxidase B for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of monoamine oxidase B in oxidative deamination of important amines such as the neurotransmitter dopamine.
Biochem Physiol Actions: MAOB belongs to the flavin monoamine oxidase family. It is a enzyme located in the mitochondrial outer membrane. It catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic and xenobiotic amines and plays an important role in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous sysytem and peripheral tissues. This protein preferentially degrades benzylamine and phenylethylamine.The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the flavin monoamine oxidase family.
