Protein cross-linkage induced by formaldehyde derived from semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase-mediated deamination of methylamine.
Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) catalyzes the conversion of methylamine to formaldehyde. This enzyme is located on the surface of the cytoplasmic membrane and in the cytosol of vascular endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and adipocytes. Increased SSAO activity has been found in patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic heart failure, and multiple types of cerebral infarcts and ...
متن کاملActive-sitve titration of pig plasma benzylamine oxidase with phenylhydrazine.
Pig plasma benzylamine oxidase is a protein containing cupric copper and pyridoxal phosphate. The pyridoxal phosphate is stably linked to the enzyme. Discrepancies in the numbers of active sites per molecule of enzyme are reported in the literature. This paper shows that the fully active pure enzyme contains 3 mol of pyridoxal phosphate per mol, whereas enzymes with a lower specific activity ar...
متن کاملSemicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase and kidney disease.
With better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underpinning chronic kidney disease, the roles of inflammation and fibrosis are becoming increasingly inseparable. The progression of renal disease is characterized by pathomorphological changes that consist of early inflammatory responses followed by tubulointerstitial fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and glomerular and vascular sclerosis. Curren...
متن کاملATP-sensitive Potassium Channels and L-type Calcium Channels are Involved in Morphine-induced Hyperalgesia after Nociceptive Sensitization in Mice
Introduction: We investigated the role of ATP-sensitive potassium channels and L-type calcium channels in morphine-induced hyperalgesia after nociceptive sensitization. Methods: We used a hotplate apparatus to assess pain behavior in male NMRI mice. Nociceptive sensitization was induced by three days injection of morphine and five days of drug free. On day 9 of the schedule, pain behavior te...
متن کاملBenzylamine exhibits insulin-like effects on glucose disposal, glucose transport, and fat cell lipolysis in rabbits and diabetic mice.
Benzylamine, a substrate of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), stimulates glucose transport in rat adipocytes and improves glucose disposal in diabetic rats only in the presence of vanadate. These effects have been described to result from a synergism between the hydrogen peroxide formed during amine oxidation and vanadate, via the generation of pervanadate, a powerful insulin mimick...
