EC 1.4.3.14 refers to the enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO), specifically monoamine oxidase A. This enzyme belongs to the oxidoreductase class and catalyzes the oxidative deamination of monoamines, such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, producing their corresponding aldehydes, ammonia, and hydrogen peroxide as byproducts. Monoamine oxidase A plays a critical role in the regulation of neurotransmitters in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. It is a target for antidepressants and drugs used to treat neuropsychiatric disorders, as inhibition of MAO-A increases the levels of monoamines, alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety. However, its inhibition must be monitored carefully due to potential side effects and drug interactions.
