Therapeutic Target Details

Target ID: T44
Target Name: Amine oxidase, copper containing
Synonyms: semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO); vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1); AOC3; Copper amine oxidase; HPAO; Membrane primary amine oxidase; Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase; SSAO; VAP1; VAP-1; Vascular adhesion protein 1
GENE: AOC3
Action: inhibitor
Class: Enzyme
UniProtKB ID:Q16853
Entry Name: AOC3_HUMAN
Related Drugs: ECC0509
Mechanism: The elevations in hepatic VAP-1 expression reported in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis can contribute to steatosis, metabolic disturbance and inflammation. This suggests that targeting the semicarbazide sensitive amine oxidase capacity of VAP-1 may represent a useful adjunct to other therapeutic strategies in NAFLD.
