- Manganese is used by the body as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. (vitalaxin.com)
- Both copper and manganese play an essential role in the formation of superoxide dismutase (SOD), an enzyme that prevents free radical damage to cellular membranes and tissues. (fromvitamin.com)
- This enzyme participates in 8 metabolic pathways: urea cycle and metabolism of amino groups, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, histidine metabolism, tyrosine metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, beta-alanine metabolism, and alkaloid biosynthesis ii. (wikipedia.org)
- Selenium is a cofactor of numerous enzymes and contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. (sunday.de)
- one AOC enzyme (AOC3) functions as a vascular adhesion protein (VAP-1) in some mammalian tissues. (wikipedia.org)
- They catalyse the oxidation of primary amines to aldehydes, with the subsequent release of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, which requires one copper ion per subunit and topaquinone as cofactor: RCH2NH2 + H2O + O2 ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } RCHO + NH3 + H2O2 The 3 substrates of this enzyme are primary amines (RCH2NH2), H2O, and O2, whereas its 3 products are RCHO, NH3, and H2O2. (wikipedia.org)
- Plays a role in increasing the activity of the ALDH enzyme family, to support the normal regulation of acetaldehyde concentrations. (zendesk.com)
- Pyrroloquinoline quinone (also known as methoxatin) is a vitamin-like micronutrient, similar in structure and activity to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10) and menaquinone (vitamin K). PQQ is primarily a cofactor - a molecule that acts as a booster for enzymes that need help to function properly. (fithealthy.eu)
- The biocatalytic complex Mn-Cu is essential in normalizing enzyme activity associated with all forms of inflammatory disorders. (fromvitamin.com)
- Selenium functions as a cofactor for a number of enzymes, while selenium makes an important contribution to healthy thyroid function and protection against oxidative cell damage. (sunday.de)
- The enzyme that supports healthy breakdown of histamine from food. (zendesk.com)
- Copper-containing amine oxidases are found in bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. (wikipedia.org)
- The catalytic domain is the largest of the 3-4 domains found in copper amine oxidases, and consists of a beta sandwich of 18 strands in two sheets. (wikipedia.org)
- An additional domain is found at the N-terminal of some copper amine oxidases, as well as in related proteins such as cell wall hydrolase and N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase. (wikipedia.org)
