Methylamine hydrochloride

Methylamine occurs endogenously from amine catabolism and its tissue levels increase in some pathological conditions including diabetes. Interestingly methylamine and ammonia levels are reciprocally controlled by a semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase activity that deaminates methylamine to formaldehyde with the production of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. Methylamine also targets the voltage-operated neuronal potassium channels probably inducing the release of neurotransmitter (s) .
