Semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO)

Was reading about AMT's MAO effects and came across this:

I have never heard of SSAO before. Anyone care to explain; in laymen's terms as far as that's possible, what this means?

Yeah, i've got that paper sitting on my desk at work...

SSAO is non-neural, it hit's up amines on other things, though it will work on dopamine and tyramie if you put them in a test tube together...
