amine oxidase
(copper-containing)
EC 1.4.3.6; other names: diamine oxidase; diamino oxhydrase; histaminase; an enzyme that catalyses the oxidation by dioxygen of an amino group to an aldehyde, with release of ammonium and hydrogen peroxide. 6-Hydroxydopa and copper are cofactors. Example, human amiloride-sensitive amine oxidase (copper-containing) precursor (amiloride-binding protein;abbr.: ABP), an 85.27 kDa enzyme that binds amiloride.
