EC 1.4.9.1     
Accepted name: methylamine dehydrogenase (amicyanin)
Reaction: methylamine + H2O + 2 amicyanin = formaldehyde + NH3 + 2 reduced amicyanin
Glossary: TTQ = tryptophan tryptophylquinone
amicyanin = an electron-transfer protein containing a type-1 copper site.
Other name(s): amine dehydrogenase; primary-amine dehydrogenase; amine: (acceptor) oxidoreductase (deaminating); primary-amine:(acceptor) oxidoreductase (deaminating)
Systematic name: methylamine:amicyanin oxidoreductase (deaminating)
Comments: Contains tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ) cofactor. The enzyme oxidizes aliphatic monoamines and diamines, histamine and ethanolamine, but not secondary and tertiary amines, quaternary ammonium salts or aromatic amines.
