4-methylaminobutanoate oxidase (methylamine-forming) (EC 1.5.3.21, mao (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name 4-methylaminobutanoate methylamidohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

4-methylaminobutanoate + O2 + H2O {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } succinate semialdehyde + methylamine + H2O2

The enzyme participates in the nicotine degradation in soil bacterium Arthrobacter nicotinovorans.
