Abstract
The role of monoamine oxidase A and B in the nervous system and in Par kinson's disease is reviewed. Recent advances made in the molecular an d biochemical properties of MAO A are also discussed, and the putative functional regions within MAO A are identified based on sequence simi larities in other proteins.
