Primary-amine oxidase, also known as semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO), is an enzyme (EC 1.4.3.21) with the systematic name primary-amine:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

RCH₂NH₂ + H₂O + O₂ ⇌ RCHO + NH₃ + H₂O₂

These enzymes are copper quinoproteins (2,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine quinone).
