Catechol-o-methyltransferase

Preferred Label : Catechol-o-methyltransferase;

Symbol : COMT;

CISMeF acronym : COMT;

Type : Gene and phenotype, combined;

Included titles and symbols : Catechol-o-methyltransferase activity, low, in red cells;

Description : Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT; EC 2.1.1.6) is one of the major mammalian enzymes involved in the metabolic degradation of catecholamines (summary by Gogos et al., 1998). COMT catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) to a hydroxyl group on a catechol nucleus (e.g., dopamine, norepinephrine, or catechol estrogen) (summary by Chen et al., 2004).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive (22q11.2);

Prefixed ID : 116790;
