Anamine oxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative cleavageofalkylamines into aldehydes and ammonia:[1]
Amine oxidases are divided into two subfamilies based on the cofactor they contain:
Class | Cofactor | Subclass | Enzyme Commission number | Human genes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Amine oxidase (formerly EC 1.4.3.6) |
copper | lysyl oxidase | EC 1.4.3.13 | LOX |
primary-amine oxidase | EC 1.4.3.21 | AOC2, AOC3 | ||
diamine oxidase | EC 1.4.3.22 | AOC1 | ||
Monoamine oxidase | flavin | N/A | EC 1.4.3.4 | MAOA, MAOB |
| |
---|---|
1.4.1: NAD/NADP acceptor |
|
1.4.3: oxygen acceptor |
|
1.4.4: disulfide acceptor |
|
1.4.99: other acceptors |
