Monoamine oxidase A expression is vital for embryonic brain development by modulating developmental apoptosis [PDF]
Monoamine oxidases (MAO-A, MAO-B) metabolize biogenic amines and have been implicated in neuronal apoptosis. Although apoptosis is an important process in embryo development, the role of MAO isoenzymes has not been investigated in detail.

HPLC–UV assay for the evaluation of inhibitors of plasma amine oxidase using crude bovine plasma
Recently, we have described a method for evaluation of plasma amine oxidase (PAO) inhibitors, which monitors the formation of 6-(5-phenyl-2H-tetrazol-2-yl)hexanal from the corresponding amine substrate by HPLC with UV-detection using purified bovine PAO.
