Background

MAO-A (Monoamine oxidase type A and Amine oxidase [flavin-containing] A)  is a 60 kDa (predicted) member of the flavin monoamine oxidase family of proteins.  MAO- A is an enzyme that degrades amine neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. It localizes to the outer mitochondrial membrane. Mutation in this gene results in monoamine oxidase deficiency, or Brunner syndrome, a form of X-linked non-dysmorphic mild mental retardation. Male patients are affected by borderline mental retardation and exhibit abnormal behavior, including disturbed regulation of impulsive aggression. Obligate female carriers have normal intelligence and behavior. Over aa 1-497, human MOA-A shares 88% aa sequence identity with mouse MOA-A.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
