| monoamine oxidase inhibitors | A chemically heterogeneous group of drugs that have in common the ability to block oxidative deamination of naturally occurring monoamines. Although mao inhibitors are probably as effective as tricyclic antidepressants in the treatment of major depression, the complex, sometimes severe, and often unpredictable interactions between mao inhibitors and many other drugs and food-derived amines make their medical use difficult and potentially hazardous.

| monophenol oxidase | <enzyme> An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyses the reaction between l-tyrosine, l-dopa, and oxygen to yield l-dopa, dopaquinone, and water. It is a copper protein that acts also on catechols, catalyzing some of the same reactions as catechol oxidase. Chemical name: Monophenol,L-dopa:oxygen oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.14.18.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| coniferyl-alcohol oxidase | <enzyme> Converts coniferyl alcohol to dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol and pinoresinol, intermediates in the formation of lignin in pine trees; requires o2 Registry number: EC 1.13.11.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| coproporphyrinogen oxidase | <enzyme> One of the enzymes active in haem biosynthesis. It catalyses the oxidative decarboxylation of coproporphyrinogen III to protoporphyrinogen III by the conversion of two propionic acid groups to two vinyl groups. It can act under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Chemical name: Coproporphyrinogen:oxygen oxidoreductase (decarboxylating) Registry number: EC 1.3.3.3 (12 Dec 1998) |
| polyamine oxidase | <enzyme> Aminoacetone is oxidatively deaminated to methylglyoxal; spermidine gives putrescine and 3-aminopropionaldehyde; spermine gives spermidine and 3-aminopropionaldehyde Registry number: EC 1.5.3.3 Synonym: spermine oxidase, spermidine oxidase, aminoacetone oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| polyphenol oxidase | <enzyme> An enzyme oxidizing benzenediols to semiquinones with O2. Synonym: monophenol monooxygenase, phenol oxidase, phenolase, polyphenol oxidase, urushiol oxidase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polyvinyl alcohol oxidase | <enzyme> Membrane-bound enzyme in pseudomonas sp.; leads to formation of hydrogen peroxide; does not use pyrroloquinoline quinone Registry number: EC 1.1.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| cysteine conjugate S-oxidase | <enzyme> Converts s-benzyl-l-cysteine to s-benzyl-l-cysteine sulfoxide; uses o2 and NADPH; may be a flavin-containing monooxygenase Registry number: EC 1.13.12- (26 Jun 1999) |
| cytochrome-c oxidase | <enzyme> An enzyme complex of the inner mitochondrial membrane that catalyses the reaction between ferrocytochrome c and oxygen to yield ferricytochrome c and water. It is associated with the pumping of protons and the resultant phosphorylation of ADP to ATP. The reaction is the terminal event in the electron transport scheme by which oxygen is used for fuel combustion. It is a part of Complex IV of the respiratory chain. A deficiency of one or more of the polypeptides of this complex results in neuronal loss in brain leading to psychomotor retardation and neurodegenerative disease. Synonym: cytochrome aa3, indophenol oxidase, indophenolase. Chemical name: Ferricytochrome-c:oxygen oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.9.3.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
| cytochrome oxidase | <enzyme> Terminal enzyme of the electron transport chain that accepts electrons from (i.e. Oxidizes) cytochrome C and transfers electrons to molecular oxygen. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cytochrome P-450 oxidase | <enzyme> Oxidises NADPH with formation of hydrogen peroxide Registry number: EC 1.6.2.- Synonym: NADPH-p450 reductase, NADPH-cytochrome p450 reductase, cytochrome p450 reductase, cpra gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| cytokinin oxidase | <enzyme> Isopentenyladenosine to adenosine Registry number: EC 1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| saccharopine oxidase | <enzyme> Flavoenzyme which catalyses the oxidative cleavage of saccharopine to delta-1-piper9deine-6-carboxylate, glutamate and h2o2 Registry number: EC 1.5.3.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| pristanoyl-CoA oxidase | <enzyme> Pristanoic acid undergoes beta-oxidation giving alternatively rise to acetyl-CoA or propionyl-CoA and h2o2 Registry number: EC 1.3.3.- Synonym: 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecanoyl-CoA oxidase, 2-methylpalmitoyl-CoA oxidase, pristanyl-CoA oxidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| proline oxidase | <enzyme> The first enzyme of the proline degradative pathway. It catalyses the oxidation of proline to pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid in the presence of oxygen and water. The action is not reversible. The specific activity of proline oxidase increases with age. Registry number: EC 1.5.3.- (12 Dec 1998) |
