Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of monoamine oxidases (MAO-A: [C-11]harmine, [C-11]clorgyline, and [C-11]befloxatone; MAO-B: [C-11]deprenyl-D2) has been actively pursued given clinical importance of MAOs in human neuropsychiatric disorders. However, it is unknown how well PET outcome measures for the different radiotracers are quantitatively related to actual MAO protein levels. We measured regional distribution (n = 38) and developmental/aging changes (21 hours to 99 years) of both MAOs by quantitative immunoblotting in autopsied normal human brain. MAO-A was more abundant than MAO-B in infants, which was reversed as MAO-B levels increased faster before 1 year and, unlike MAO-A, kept increasing steadily to senescence. In adults, regional protein levels of both MAOs were positively and proportionally correlated with literature postmortem data of MAO activities and binding densities. With the exception of [C-11]befloxatone (binding potential (BP), r = 0.61, P = 0.15), correlations between regional PET outcome measures of binding in the literature and MAO protein levels were good (P
