Background |
MAOA (Monoamine oxidase A), also known as AMINE OXIDASE (FLAVIN-CONTAINING) A, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAO-A gene. MAOA is an isozyme of monoamine oxidase which is also mapped on Xp11.3. MAOA degrades amine neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. The protein localizes to the outer mitochondrial membrane. Mutation in MAOA results in monoamine oxidase deficiency, or Brunner syndrome. In humans, there is a 30-base repeat sequence repeated in one of several different numbers of times in the promoter region of the gene coding for MAOA. MAO-A levels in the brain as measured using positron emission tomography are elevated by an average of 34% in patients with major depressive disorder. Inhibition of MAOA prevented apoptosis, and serum starvation of cortical brain cells from Maoa-deficient mice resulted in reduced apoptosis compared with wildtype mice. |

Application Details |
Western blot, 0.1-0.5μg/ml, Human, Mouse, Rat Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Section), 0.5-1μg/ml, Human, Mouse, Rat, By Heat Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence, 5μg/ml, Human Flow Cytometry, 1-3μg/1x106 cells, Human |
Application Notes |
Tested Species: In-house tested species with positive results. By Heat: Boiling the paraffin sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH6.0, for 20mins is required for the staining of formalin/paraffin sections. Other applications have not been tested. Optimal dilutions should be determined by end users. |
Clonality |
Polyclonal |
Concentration |
Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml. |
Contents |

Immunogen |
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human MAOA, different from the related mouse sequence by five amino acids, and from the related rat sequence by six amino acids. |
Purification |
Immunogen affinity purified. |
Cross-reactivity |
No cross-reactivity with other proteins |
Storage |
Store at -20˚C for one year from date of receipt. After reconstitution, at 4˚C for one month. It can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20˚C for six months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Reconstitution |
Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml. |
Gene Full Name |
Amine oxidase [flavin-containing] A |
Molecular Weight |
59682 MW |
Protein Function |
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. |
Subcellular Localization |
Mitochondrion outer membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. |
Tissue Specificity |
Heart, liver, duodenum, blood vessels and kidney. |
Protein Name |
