- amine oxidase (flavin-containing)
- amine ox·i·dase (fla·vin-con·tain·ing) (ə-mēnґ) (amґin okґsĭ-dās flaґvin kon-tānґing) [EC 1.4.3.4] a flavoprotein (FAD) enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of primary amines to form aldehydes and hydrogen peroxide. Substrates include serotonin, norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopamine, and also some secondary and tertiary amines. It occurs in several isozymes. Called also monoamine oxidase (MAO). See also monoamine oxidase inhibitor, under inhibitor.
