| amine oxidase | <enzyme> A group of enzymes including those oxidizing primary monoamines, diamines, and histamine. They are copper proteins, and, as their action depends on a carbonyl group, they are sensitive to inhibition by saemicarbazide. Chemical name: Amine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating)(copper-containing) Registry number: EC 1.4.3.6 (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| amine oxidase (copper-containing) | An oxidoreductase containing copper, and perhaps pyridoxal phosphate, and carrying out the same reaction as amine oxidase (flavin-containing). Synonym: amine oxidase (pyridoxal-containing), diamine oxidase, diamino oxyhydrase, histaminase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amine oxidase (flavin-containing) | An oxidoreductase containing flavin and oxidizing amines with the aid of O2 and water to aldehydes or ketones with the release of NH3 and H2O2. Acted upon by antidepressants. Synonym: adrenaline oxidase, diamine oxidase, monoamine oxidase, tyraminase, tyramine oxidase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| amine oxidase (pyridoxal-containing) | amine oxidase (copper-containing) |
| amine oxidoreductases | <enzyme> Enzymes catalyzing the dehydrogenation of secondary amines, introducing a c=n double bond as the primary reaction. In some cases this is later hydrolyzed. Registry number: EC 1.5. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Amine Precursor Uptake and Decarboxylation | <pharmacology, physiology> Paracrine cells of which argentaffin cells are an example. Usage of the term APUD is neither helpful nor memorable. Acronym: APUD (11 Nov 1997) |
| amine sulfotransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses reversibly the reaction of 3'-phosphoadenylylsulfate and an arylamine to yield adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate and an arylsulfamate Registry number: EC 2.8.2.3 Synonym: aniline sulfotransferase, arylamine sulfotransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| amine tetrazolium reductase | <enzyme> Tetrazolium salts as hydrogen acceptors Registry number: EC 1.4.- Synonym: tryptamine dehydrogenase, monoamine tetrazolium reductase, monoamine dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| biogenic amine | <biochemistry> Amines found in both animals and plants that are frequently involved in signalling. There are several groups: ethanolamine derivatives include choline, acetylcholine AMP, muscarine, catecholamines include adrenaline, noradrenaline & dopamine, polyamines include spermine, indolylalkylamines include tryptamine & serotonin, betaines include carnitine, polymethyline diamines include cadaverine & putrescine. (18 Nov 1997) |
| biogenic amine neurotransmitters | Biogenic amines released by neurons as intercellular messengers. The biogenic amines norepinephrine, dopamine, histamine, and serotonin are neurotransmitters in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. (12 Dec 1998) |
| vasoactive amine | A substance, such as histamine or serotonin, that contains amino groups and is pharmacologically characterised by its action on the blood vessels (altering vascular caliber or permeability). (05 Mar 2000) |
| receptors, biogenic amine | Cell surface proteins that bind biogenic amines with high affinity and regulate intracellular signals which influence the behaviour of cells. Biogenic amine is a chemically imprecise term which, by convention, includes the catecholamines epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine, the indoleamine serotonin, the imidazolamine histamine, and compounds closely related to each of these. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retina-specific amine oxidase | <enzyme> Genbank d88213 Registry number: EC 1.4.- Synonym: rao enzyme, human (26 Jun 1999) |
| pressor amine | One of several products of intestinal putrefaction believed to cause functional hypertension when absorbed, any alkaline substance that raises blood pressure. Synonym: pressor amine, pressor substance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary amine monooxygenase | <enzyme> Catalyses NADH or NADPH dependent oxidative n-dealkylation of short chain aliphatic secondary amines with a methyl or ethyl group Registry number: EC 1.14.99.- Synonym: dimethylamine mono-oxygenase, secondary amine mono-oxygenase (26 Jun 1999) |
