amine oxidase (copper-containing)
amine ox·i·dase (cop·per-con·tain·ing) (ə-mēnґ) (amґin okґsĭ-dās kopґər kən-tānґing) [EC 1.4.3.6] a group of enzymes of the oxidoreductase class that catalyze the oxidative deamination of diamines, including histamine, to form aminoaldehydes, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide. The enzymes can also convert primary monoamines to aldehydes. They are copper proteins and may contain pyridoxal phosphate. Called also diamine oxidase.
