MAOA (Monoamine Oxidase A) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with MAOA include brunner syndrome and maoa-related behavior disorders. Among its related pathways are Metabolism and Arginine and proline metabolism. GO annotations related to this gene include primary amine oxidase activity.rotein differential expression in normal tissues for MAOA Gene. This gene is overexpressed in Placenta (12.0), Nasal epithelium (9.2), Nasopharynx (7.5), and Adipocyte (6.8).
