Monoamine oxidase (MAO) A predominates both in human placenta and lung. With 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), beta-phenylethylamine (PEA) and benzylamine (Bz) as substrates and clorgyline and deprenyl, respectively, as selective MAO A and B inhibitors, their activity pattern has been defined and compared with that of human liver. PEA had a much higher V(max) with placental MAO A than did Bz; it behaved largely as an A substrate in placenta, and partly as an A substrate in lung. At commonly used subst
