Anamine oxidase is anenzyme that catalyzes theoxidative cleavage ofalkylamines intoaldehydes andammonia:[1]
Amine oxidases are divided into two subfamilies based on thecofactor they contain:
| Class | Cofactor | Subclass | Enzyme Commission number | Human genes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amine oxidase (formerlyEC1.4.3.6) | copper | lysyl oxidase | EC1.4.3.13 | LOX |
| primary-amine oxidase | EC1.4.3.21 | AOC2,AOC3 | ||
| diamine oxidase | EC1.4.3.22 | AOC1 | ||
| Monoamine oxidase | flavin | N/A | EC1.4.3.4 | MAOA,MAOB |
