About This Section Entrez Gene summary for COMT : Catechol-O-methyltransferase catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to catecholamines, including the neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. This O-methylation results in one of the major degradative pathways of the catecholamine transmitters. In addition to its role in the metabolism of endogenous substances, COMT is important in the metabolism of catechol drugs used in the treatment of hypertension, asthma, and Parkinson disease. COMT is found in two forms in tissues, a soluble form (S-COMT) and a membrane-bound form (MB-COMT). The differences between S-COMT and MB-COMT reside within the N-termini. Several transcript variants are formed through the use of alternative translation initiation sites and promoters. (provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: COMT_HUMAN, P21964 Function : Catalyzes the O-methylation, and thereby the inactivation, of catecholamine neurotransmitters and catecholhormones. Also shortens the biological half-lives of certain neuroactive drugs, like L-DOPA, alpha-methyl DOPA and isoproterenol summary
for COMT : Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is involved in metabolism of catecholamines (dopamine, adrenalin andnoradrenalin). COMT is localized to postsynaptic neurons where it degrades neurotransmitters following theirrelease. Gene Wiki entry for COMT (Catechol-O-methyl transferase) PharmGKB "VIP " summary for
