1 It is now apparent that MAO-B is capable of oxidizing inert non-polar amines such as MPTP (N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6, tetrahydropyridine) and milacemide (2-n-pentylaminoacetamide) into neuroactive substances giving rise to Parkinson inducing dopaminergic neurotoxin, MPP+ and inhibitory amino acid neurotransmitter, glycine respectively. 1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine monoamine oxidase B Homo sapiens
