    Background

    Monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes are riboflavin proteins enriched in the outer membrane of the mitochondria that function to catalyze the oxidative deamination of tyramine and monoamine neurotransmitters (1). Monoamine neurotransmitters include dopamine, phenethylamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and norepinephrine. Two MAO isozymes are encoded in the mammalian genome, including MAOA and MAOB. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain that plays a key role in memory, movement, motivation, and mood. Dopamine dysregulation is also a key feature of neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s disease (PD) (2). MAOs regulate dopamine abundance by metabolizing dopamine via presynaptic neurons (MAOA) or glial cells (MAOB). Inhibitors of MAOs are a potential therapeutic target to treat PD patients (3).
