<unk> , also known as<unk> , is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the<unk>  gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the flavin<unk> amily. It is an enzyme located in the outer mitochondrial membrane. It catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic and xenobiotic amines and plays an important role in the catabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues (such as dopamine). This protein preferentially degrades benzylamine and phenethylamine. Similarly to<unk>  (MAOA), it also degrades dopamine though some new research contradicts this, suggesting that<unk>  does not directly degrade dopamine, but is responsible for GABA synthesis.
