Summary

Name COMT
Full Name Catechol O-methyltransferase
Synonyms COMT_HUMAN |
Primary ID P21964
Links - -
Type protein
Relations 12
Pathways Catecholamine metabolism
Inhibitors tolcapone; entacapone
Function Catalyzes the O-methylation, and thereby the inactivation, of catecholamine neurotransmitters and catechol hormones. Also shortens the biological half-lives of certain neuroactive drugs, like L-DOPA, alpha-methyl DOPA and isoproterenol.
