 Use of catechol o-methyltransferase


Catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) the magnesium-dependent transfer of methyl groups from S-adenosyl methionine to a hydroxyl group on dopamine, converting it to 3-methoxytyramine. Catechol O-methyltransferase has two forms in tissues, a soluble form (S-COMT) and a membrane-bound form (MB-COMT). Catechol O-methyltransferase is to regulate epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine levels in the brain[1].
