VAP-1

Vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1); Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO); Amine oxidase copper-containing 3 (AOC3)

VAP-1 is a is a dual-function protein with adhesion properties and semicarbazide-sensitive monoamine oxidase (SSAO) activity. VAP-1 is involved in leukocyte-subtype-specific rolling under physiological shear. And VAP-1 catalyzes the oxidation of primary amines leading to the production of ammonium, formaldehyde, methylglyoxal, and hydrogen peroxide. Its catalytic activity can lead to cellular oxidative stress, which has been implicated in several pathologies (atherosclerosis, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease).
