COMT
geneOn this page
Summary
COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase, HGNC:2228) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 22q11.21, encoding Catechol O-methyltransferase (P21964). Catalyzes the O-methylation, and thereby the inactivation, of catecholamine neurotransmitters and catechol hormones.
Catechol-O-methyltransferase catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to catecholamines, including the neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. This O-methylation results in one of the major degradative pathways of the catecholamine transmitters. In addition to its role in the metabolism of endogenous substances, COMT is important in the metabolism of catechol drugs used in the treatment of hypertension, asthma, and Parkinson disease. COMT is found in two forms in tissues, a soluble form (S-COMT) and a membrane-bound form (MB-COMT). The differences between S-COMT and MB-COMT reside within the N-termini. Several transcript variants are formed through the use of alternative translation initiation sites and promoters.

Function. Catalyzes the O-methylation, and thereby the inactivation, of catecholamine neurotransmitters and catechol hormones. Also shortens the biological half-lives of certain neuroactive drugs, like L-DOPA, alpha-methyl DOPA and isoproterenol.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Brain, liver, placenta, lymphocytes and erythrocytes.
Post-translational modifications. The N-terminus is blocked.
Disease relevance. Schizophrenia (SCZD) [MIM:181500] A complex, multifactorial psychotic disorder or group of disorders characterized by disturbances in the form and content of thought (e.g. delusions, hallucinations), in mood (e.g. inappropriate affect), in sense of self and relationship to the external world (e.g. loss of ego boundaries, withdrawal), and in behavior (e.g bizarre or apparently purposeless behavior). Although it affects emotions, it is distinguished from mood disorders in which such disturbances are primary. Similarly, there may be mild impairment of cognitive function, and it is distinguished from the dementias in which disturbed cognitive function is considered primary. Some patients manifest schizophrenic as well as bipolar disorder symptoms and are often given the diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Disease susceptibility may be associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Cofactor. Binds 1 Mg(2+) ion per subunit.
Polymorphism. Two major alleles, COMT1 or COMTH and COMT2 or COMTL are defined by a nucleotide G-to-A transition at codon 158, resulting in a valine-to-methionine substitution. Allele COMT*2 codes for protein variant p.Val158Met, a functional polymorphism resulting in 3- to 4-fold difference in catechol O-methyltransferase activity [MIM:621296]. Low enzyme activity alleles are associated with genetic susceptibility to alcoholism [MIM:103780].
Similarity. Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. Cation-dependent O-methyltransferase family.
