Enzymic Oxidation of Amines in Decapods

Abstract

ABSTRACT Some time ago it was shown that a high concentration of the enzyme amine oxidase was present in the liver of Eusepia officinalis (Blaschko, 1941); it has since been found that this is also true for Octopus vulgaris (Blaschko & Hawkins, 1952a). In both species the enzyme occurs in other tissues as well as in the liver.
