This gene is one of two neighboring gene family members that encode mitochondrial enzymes which catalyze the oxidative deamination of amines, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Mutation of this gene results in Brunner syndrome. Has important functions in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues.This gene has also been associated with a variety of other psychiatric disorders, including antisocial behavior. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed.

Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM/TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (HA601319) at 1/1,000 dilution was used in 5% NFDM/TBST at 4℃ overnight. Anti-Mouse IgG for IP, AlpSdAbs® VHH(HRP) (001-100-005) at 1/5,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human colon cancer tissue with Mouse anti-Monoamine Oxidase A / MAO-A antibody (HA601319) at 1/1,000 dilution.
The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0) for 20 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (HA601319) at 1/1,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
