AOC2 Gene

amine oxidase, copper containing 2 (retina-specific)

Copper amine oxidases catalyze the oxidative conversion of amines to aldehydes and ammonia in the presence of copper and quinone cofactor. This gene shows high sequence similarity to copper amine oxidases from various species ranging from bacteria to mammals. The protein contains several conserved motifs including the active site of amine oxidases and the histidine residues that likely bind copper. It may be a critical modulator of signal transmission in retina, possibly by degrading the biogenic amines dopamine, histamine, and putrescine. This gene may be a candidate gene for hereditary ocular diseases. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

TAAR5 Gene

trace amine associated receptor 5

Enables trimethylamine receptor activity. Involved in adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Is active in plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

TAAR6 Gene

trace amine associated receptor 6

This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor that likely functions as a receptor for endogenous trace amines. Mutations in this gene may be associated with schizophrenia.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

TAAR1 Gene

trace amine associated receptor 1

The protein encoded by this gene is a G-protein coupled receptor activated by trace amines. The encoded protein responds little or not at all to dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine, or histamine, but responds well to beta-phenylethylamine, p-tyramine, octopamine, and tryptamine. While primarily functioning in neurologic systems, there is evidence that this gene is involved in blood cell and immunologic functions as well. This gene is thought to be intronless.

TAAR3 Gene

trace amine associated receptor 3 (gene/pseudogene)

Predicted to enable trace-amine receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and sensory perception of chemical stimulus. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

TAAR2 Gene

trace amine associated receptor 2

Predicted to enable trace-amine receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

TAAR9 Gene

trace amine associated receptor 9 (gene/pseudogene)

TAAR9 is a member of a large family of rhodopsin G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs, or GPRs). GPCRs contain 7 transmembrane domains and transduce extracellular signals through heterotrimeric G proteins.[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2005]

TAAR8 Gene

trace amine associated receptor 8

This gene is part of the trace amine receptor cluster on chromosome 6 and encodes an orphan G-protein coupled receptor. Upregulated expression of this gene in astroglial cells upon exposure to lipopolysaccharides suggests a function for the encoded protein in the brain. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

RNLS Gene

renalase, FAD-dependent amine oxidase

Enables several functions, including NADH binding activity; epinephrine binding activity; and monoamine oxidase activity. Involved in negative regulation of blood pressure and negative regulation of heart rate. Located in extracellular region. Implicated in essential hypertension and hypertension. Biomarker of end stage renal disease. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

AOC3 Gene

amine oxidase, copper containing 3

This gene encodes a member of the semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase family. Copper amine oxidases catalyze the oxidative conversion of amines to aldehydes in the presence of copper and quinone cofactor. The encoded protein is localized to the cell surface, has adhesive properties as well as monoamine oxidase activity, and may be involved in leukocyte trafficking. Alterations in levels of the encoded protein may be associated with many diseases, including diabetes mellitus. A pseudogene of this gene has been described and is located approximately 9-kb downstream on the same chromosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

AOC4P Gene

amine oxidase, copper containing 4, pseudogene

AOC1 Gene

amine oxidase, copper containing 1

This gene encodes a metal-binding membrane glycoprotein that oxidatively deaminates putrescine, histamine, and related compounds. The encoded protein is inhibited by amiloride, a diuretic that acts by closing epithelial sodium ion channels. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

TAAR7P Gene

trace amine associated receptor 7, pseudogene

LOC102724175 Gene

membrane primary amine oxidase-like

VAT1 Gene

vesicle amine transport 1

Synaptic vesicles are responsible for regulating the storage and release of neurotransmitters in the nerve terminal. The protein encoded by this gene is an abundant integral membrane protein of cholinergic synaptic vesicles and is thought to be involved in vesicular transport. It belongs to the quinone oxidoreductase subfamily of zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
