Summary of MAOB
MAOB (monoamine oxidase B) encodes a protein that plays an important role in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system (R).
It is associated with higher risk for Parkinson's and Alzheimer diseases (R, R).
It's better to have this gene decreased
most of the time.
