Peak I, eluted at V0 from P11, contained all IgG and the other serum proteins, except beta-globulins and most of the alpha-2-globulins, which are eluted in a second peak with 0.24 M K-phosphate in citrate buffer at pH 6.0.

The wide distribution of the enzyme suggests that it could be of great biological importance, but the physiological functions and metabolic control of these enzymes are still poorly understood. The simultaneous presence of amine oxidase and peroxidase in cell walls suggests that the peroxide generated on oxidation of the amines could be utilized by the peroxidase (2,3).
