Monoamine oxidase B, also known as MAOB, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the MAOB gene.

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the flavin monoamine oxidase family. It is an enzyme located in the mitochondrial outer membrane. It catalyzes the oxidative deamination of biogenic and xenobiotic amines and plays an important role in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. This protein preferentially degrades benzylamine and phenylethylamine.[1]

Structure

Edmondson et al. described structural features of the human enzyme: it has a hydrophobic bipartite elongated cavity that (for the "open" conformation) occupies a combined volume close to 700 Å3. hMAO-A has a single cavity that exhibits a rounder shape and is larger in volume than the "substrate cavity" of hMAO-B.[2]

The first cavity of hMAO-B has been termed the entrance cavity (290 Å3), the second substrate cavity or active site cavity (~390 Å3) – between both an isoleucine199 side chain serves as a gate. Depending on the substrate or bound inhibitor, it can exist in either an open or a closed form which has been shown to be important in defining the inhibitor specificity of hMAO B. At the end of the substrate cavity is the FAD coenzyme with sites for favorable amine binding about the flavin involving two nearly parallel tyrosyl (398 and 435) residues that form what has been termed an aromatic cage.[2]

Differences between MAOA and MAOB

The differences between the two enzymes are utilized clinically when treating specific disorders. Generally, Monoamine Oxidase A (MAOA) prefers to metabolize norepinephrine (NE), serotonin (5-HT), and Dopamine (DA) (and other less clinically relevant chemicals). Monoamine Oxidase B, on the other hand, prefers to metabolize Dopamine (DA) (and other less clinically relevant chemicals).

So, to minimize side-effects, patients with depression are usually given MAOB inhibitors (like selegeline) instead of MAOA inhibitors. MAOA inhibitors are likely to cause more side effects because in addition to DA, they also metabolize NE and 5-HT. Therefore, MAOA inhibitors are likely to cause more unintended changes in the body than MAOB inhibitors.

Selective inhibitors

Species-dependent divergences may hamper the extrapolation of inhibitor potencies.[3]
