Serotonergic effects Vesicular monoamine transporter 2 Inhibitor |
|||||||
| Key Mechanism Factor 1 | |||||||||
| Factor Name | Monoamine oxidase | Structure Sequence | |||||||
| Protein Family | Flavin monoamine oxidase family | ||||||||
| Protein Function |
Catalyzes the oxidative deamination of primary and some secondary amine such as neurotransmitters, with concomitant reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide and has important functions in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues (PubMed:20493079, PubMed:8316221, PubMed:18391214, PubMed:24169519). Preferentially oxidizes serotonin (PubMed:20493079, PubMed:24169519). Also catalyzes the oxidative deamination of kynuramine to 3-(2-aminophenyl)-3-oxopropanal that can spontaneously condense to 4-hydroxyquinoline (By similarity).

| Protein Function |
Involved in the ATP-dependent vesicular transport of biogenic amine neurotransmitters. Pumps cytosolic monoamines including dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, and histamine into synaptic vesicles (PubMed:23363473). Requisite for vesicular amine storage prior to secretion via exocytosis.

| Recommended Action | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management | The use of valbenazine with MAOIs should generally be avoided. If concomitant use is required, caution and close clinical and laboratory monitoring are recommended. alternative treatment may be required if an interaction is suspected. | ||||||||
