Abstract
AbstractMonoamine oxidase (MAO) activity was determined in fractions obtained from bovine splenic nerve with both dopamine (DA) and noradrenaline (NA) as substrates. DA was found to be a much better substrate for MAO than NA. The bulk of the MAO in this preparation was found in the nerve granule fraction, which by electron microscopic evaluation seemed to be largely free from mitochondrial contamination. These findings suggest that bovine splenic nerve in addition to mitochondrial bound MAO also contains a form of MAO, with a substrate preference for DA, which seems to be associated with the nerve granules.
