Interaction Information:

Comment MAO (A or B) and ALDH-2 act in tandem in the catalytic conversion of 5-HT (serotonin) to 5-HIAA (5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid) in isolated mitochondria. The MAO/ALDH-2 pathway is the major pathway that catalyzes monoamine metabolism in mitochondria. Daidzin is a potent inhibitor of ALDH-2, but not of MAO activity.
