GENE - CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS REPORT

RGD ID: 2379
Species: Rattus norvegicus
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: Comt
Name: catechol-O-methyltransferase
Acc ID: CHEBI:28918
Term: (R)-adrenaline
Definition: The R-enantiomer of adrenaline. It is a hormone secreted by the adrenal glands resulting in the 'fight-or-flight' response.
Chemical ID: MESH:D004837
Note: Use of the qualifier "multiple interactions" designates that the annotated interaction is comprised of a complex set of reactions and/or regulatory events, possibly involving additional chemicals and/or gene products.
