Reaction: RCH2NH2 + H2O + O2 = RCHO + NH3 + H2O2
Other name(s): amine oxidase (ambiguous); amine oxidase (copper-containing); amine oxidase (pyridoxal containing) (incorrect); benzylamine oxidase (incorrect); CAO (ambiguous); copper amine oxidase (ambiguous); Cu-amine oxidase (ambiguous); Cu-containing amine oxidase (ambiguous); diamine oxidase (incorrect); diamino oxhydrase (incorrect); histamine deaminase (ambiguous); histamine oxidase (ambiguous); monoamine oxidase (ambiguous); plasma monoamine oxidase (ambiguous); polyamine oxidase (ambiguous); semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (ambiguous); SSAO (ambiguous)
Systematic name: primary-amine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating)
Comments: A group of enzymes that oxidize primary monoamines but have little or no activity towards diamines, such as histamine, or towards secondary and tertiary amines. They are copper quinoproteins (2,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine quinone) and, unlike EC 1.4.3.4, monoamine oxidase, are sensitive to inhibition by carbonyl-group reagents, such as semicarbazide. In some mammalian tissues the enzyme also functions as a vascular-adhesion protein (VAP-1).
