The expression of MAO-B in glial cells is thought to be predominantly, if not exclusively, within
astrocytes (<a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-7091-9324-2_33">Ekblom et al., 1994</a>), but not

<p>MAO-B oxidises amines (for example <a href="./target_dopamine.html">dopamine</a> and
noradrenaline) from both endogenous and exogenous sources.
MAO-B is selectively and irreversibly inhibited by L-deprenyl (selegiline).
When the enzyme-substrate complex is formed, the rate-limiting step of MAO-B catalyzed oxidation
creates a highly reactive intermediate, which forms a covalent bond with the enzyme, thus
