Origin
early 20th cent.: from tyr(osine) + amine.
Coproporphyrinogen III oxidase         
MAMMALIAN PROTEIN FOUND IN HOMO SAPIENS
Coproporphyrinogen oxidase; Coproporphyrinogen iii oxidase; CPOX (gene); Coproporphyrinogen:oxygen oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)
Coproporphyrinogen-III oxidase, mitochondrial (abbreviated as CPOX) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CPOX gene. A genetic defect in the enzyme results in a reduced production of heme in animals.

Wikipedia

Monoamine oxidase

Monoamine oxidases (MAO) (EC 1.4.3.4) are a family of enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of monoamines, employing oxygen to clip off their amine group. They are found bound to the outer membrane of mitochondria in most cell types of the body. The first such enzyme was discovered in 1928 by Mary Bernheim in the liver and was named tyramine oxidase. The MAOs belong to the protein family of flavin-containing amine oxidoreductases.

MAOs are important in the breakdown of monoamines ingested in food, and also serve to inactivate monoamine neurotransmitters. Because of the latter, they are involved in a number of psychiatric and neurological diseases, some of which can be treated with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) which block the action of MAOs.
