4-Dimethylaminobenzylamine is catalyzed by MAO to generate p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde. P-Dimethylaminobenzaldehyde has a characteristic absorption peak in the ultraviolet-visible region, and its maximum absorption wavelength is 355 nm. The activity of MAO can be indirectly analyzed by analyzing the amount of p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde produced, that is, the specific activity of MAO can be obtained.
Applications
For the detection of monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in serum, plasma, animal tissue samples.
Procedure
1. Prepare standard samples and experimental samples. 2. Add reaction reagents in order for reaction. 3. Measure the absorbance of each tube. 4. Make the mark curve and calculate the result.
