<unk>  is a key regulator for normal brain function. It is a flavoenzyme which degrades amine neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, via oxidative deamination. It is highly expressed in neural and cardiac cells and localizes to the outer mitochondrial membrane. Its expression is regulated by the transcription factors SP1, GATA2, and TBP via the CAMP pathway in response to stress such as ischemia and inflammation. One behavioral study suggested a link between the 2R allele and a higher likelihood of violent behavior in adolescents and young adults while another showed no link at all with either antisocial behavior or antisocial alcoholism.
