Background Information

Catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) is an important enzyme that catalyzes O-methylation and inactivation of metabolically active catechol-containing bioactive molecules and drugs. The mammalian COMT enzyme exists in soluble form (24-26 kDa) and membrane-bound form (28-30 kDa), which are encoded by a single gene utilizing different promoters.
