SDS-Page
(Recombinant MAOA protein gel. MAOA protein was run on an 8% SDS-PAGE gel and stained with Coomassie blue.)
Testing Data
(MAO-GloTM Assay for MAOA activity 40 uM substrate was incubated with MAOA protein in reaction buffer for 1 hour at room temperature, then the product was incubated with Detection Reagent for 0.5 hour at temperature. The activity of MAOA was detected by Promega MAO-Glo Assay.)
Background: MAOA (Monoamine Oxidase A) is one of two neighboring mitochondrial enzyme family members which catalyze the oxidative deamination of amines, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. The other member is MAOB. Mutation of MAOA results in Brunner syndrome and maoa-related behavior disorders. MAOA has important functions in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. MAOA preferentially oxidizes biogenic amines such as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine and epinephrine.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
MAOA: Catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic and xenobiotic amines and has important functions in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. MAOA preferentially oxidizes biogenic amines such as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine and epinephrine. Defects in MAOA are the cause of Brunner syndrome (BRUNS). Brunner syndrome is a form of X-linked non- dysmorphic mild mental retardation. Male patients are affected by a syndrome of borderline mental retardation and exhibit abnormal behavior, including disturbed regulation of impulsive aggression. Obligate female carriers have normal intelligence and behavior. Belongs to the flavin monoamine oxidase family.

Product Notes
The MAOA maoa (Catalog #AAA388212) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Baculovirus and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MAOA, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
