Function | Both isoforms function as amine oxidases toward elastin and different types of collagens. Isoform 1 shows the highest activity toward collagen type VIII, while Isoform 2 presents the highest activity toward collagen type IV. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17018530}. |
Subcellular Location | Isoform 1: Secreted, extracellular space {ECO:0000305}. |
Tissue Specificity | Isoform 1 ia predominantly detected in the heart, placenta, lung, and small intestine, while isoform 2 is more highly detected in the kidney, pancreas, spleen, and thymus, and is absent in lung. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17018530}. |
