Gene information for MAOB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4129
Official gene symbolMAOB
Full namemonoamine oxidase B
Aliases,MGC26382,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene 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. [provided by RefSeq]
