AOC1 amine oxidase copper containing 1

Gene ID: 26, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ABP; DAO; KAO; ABP1; DAO1; KDAO

Summary

This gene encodes a metal-binding membrane glycoprotein that oxidatively deaminates putrescine, histamine, and related compounds. The encoded protein is inhibited by amiloride, a diuretic that acts by closing epithelial sodium ion channels. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]
