Intracellular distribution of monoamine oxidase in the submaxillary gland of the human, cat, rat, and bovine, and in the parotid gland of the bovine, were determined using kynuramine as a substrate. The excretion of the enzyme in the parotid saliva of humans was also examined by sensitive fluorometric methods.
