Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A), the catabolic enzyme of monoamine transmitters, plays a critical role in emotional and social behavior. MAO-A has long been considered to be a central factor at the interface of psychiatry and pharmacology. We previously reported that E3 ubiquitin ligase Rines regulates brain MAO-A protein levels, monoamine levels and emotional and social behavior. In this study, we investigate how Rines regulates MAO-A protein levels and monoamine levels in emotional and social behavior using juvenile~aged Rines KO mice. Here we found that Rines regulates monoaminergic dynamics and emotional behavior in age-dependent manner.
