Gene: Comt (catechol-O-methyltransferase) Rattus norvegicus
Analyze
Symbol: Comt
Name: catechol-O-methyltransferase
RGD ID: 2379
Description: Enables catechol O-methyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; positive regulation of homocysteine metabolic process; and response to olanzapine. Located in several cellular components, including cell body; dendritic spine; and postsynaptic membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Used to study Parkinsonism and hypertension. Biomarker of hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; cognitive disorder (multiple); drug dependence (multiple); reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and withdrawal disorder (multiple). Orthologous to human COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase); PARTICIPATES IN alkaptonuria pathway; disulfiram pharmacodynamics pathway; dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency pathway; INTERACTS WITH (-)-epigallocatechin 3-gallate; (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetic acid; (R)-adrenaline.
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: VALIDATED
Previously known as: catechol O-methyltransferase; catecholamine-O-methyltransferase
