| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables primary methylamine oxidase activity. Acts upstream of or within dopamine catabolic process and positive regulation of signal transduction. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and sensory organ. Used to study Brunner Syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; Brunner Syndrome; alcohol use disorder; autism spectrum disorder; and panic disorder. Orthologous to human MAOA (monoamine oxidase A). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele show reduced LV systolic pressure and resistance to induced cardiac stress. Males hemizygous for a spontaneous allele show intermale aggression and hypoactivity. Hemizygotes for a transgenic gene disruption show altered behavior and adrenocortical response to stress.
