Enables primary amine oxidase activity. Acts upstream of or within dopamine catabolic process and positive regulation of signal transduction. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and sensory organ. Used to study Brunner Syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; Brunner Syndrome; alcohol use disorder; autism spectrum disorder; and panic disorder.
