  2. Diamine oxidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamine_oxidase

    Diamine oxidase (DAO), also known "amine oxidase, copper-containing, 1" (AOC1), formerly called histaminase, [1] is an enzyme (EC 1.4.3.22) involved in the metabolism, oxidation, and inactivation of histamine and other polyamines such as putrescine or spermidine. The enzyme belongs to the amine oxidase (copper-containing) (AOC) family of amine ...

  3. D-amino acid oxidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-amino_acid_oxidase

    D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO; also OXDA or DAMOX) is an enzyme with the function on a molecular level to oxidize D-amino acids to the corresponding α-keto acids, producing ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. This results in a number of physiological effects in various systems, most notably the brain.

  4. Amine oxidase (copper-containing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amine_oxidase_(copper...

    Amine oxidase (copper-containing) (AOC) (EC 1.4.3.21 and EC 1.4.3.22; formerly EC 1.4.3.6) is a family of amine oxidase enzymes which includes both primary-amine oxidase and diamine oxidase; these enzymes catalyze the oxidation of a wide range of biogenic amines including many neurotransmitters, histamine and xenobiotic amines.

  5. Oxidase test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidase_test

    The oxidase test is used to determine whether an organism possesses the cytochrome c oxidase enzyme. The test is used as an aid for the differentiation of Neisseria, Moraxella, Campylobacter and Pasteurella species (oxidase positive). It is also used to differentiate pseudomonads from related species. [1]

  7. Amine oxidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amine_oxidase

    An amine oxidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative cleavage of alkylamines into aldehydes and ammonia: [1] RCH 2 NH 2 + H 2 O + O 2 ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } RCHO + NH 3 + H 2 O 2

  8. Oxidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidase

    In microbiology, the oxidase test is used as a phenotypic characteristic for the identification of bacterial strains; it determines whether a given bacterium produces cytochrome oxidases (and therefore utilizes oxygen with an electron transfer chain). The test is used to determine whether a bacterium is an aerobe or anaerobe. However a ...

    Norepinephrine degradation. Catechol-O-methyltransferase is shown in green boxes.[5] [6]Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT; EC 2.1.1.6) is one of several enzymes that degrade catecholamines (neurotransmitters such as dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine), catecholestrogens, and various drugs and substances having a catechol structure.
