Human intestinal diamine oxidase: Substrate specificity and comparative inhibitor study

Abstract: For an 80-fold purified preparation of human intestinal diamine oxidase the optimum conditions of incubation, the substrate and the inhibitor specificity were tested. Putrescine was the most favoured substrate but N tau-methylhistamine and 2-methylhistamine were metabolized at optimum conditions with nearly the same velocity. Histamine reached about 50% of the reaction velocity of putrescine. Aminoguanidine and semicarbazide inhibited the human intestinal enzyme like a classical diamine oxidase. However, a dis… Show more

“…Human intestinal DAO closely resembles other mammalian diamino oxidases in phys ical and chemical properties, such as specific ity for substrates and inhibitors [31], and our data confirm these biological analogies with regard to liver uptake as well. Our results, in conclusion, suggest that the liver plays an important role in uptake and, probably, in metabolism of plasma DAO also in man.…”

“…In this connection it was especially intriguing that human intestinal DAO not only deaminated histamine but even with a higher reaction velocity N~-methylhistamine, the strong inhibitory product of the other histamineinactivating enzyme HMT [32]. Thus our in vitro results support the hypothesis that DAO has a histamine-detoxicating function in the intestinal tract.…”
