Rat catechol O-methyltransferase in complex with a catechol-type, N6-ethyladenine-containing bisubstrate inhibitorRat catechol O-methyltransferase in complex with a catechol-type, N6-ethyladenine-containing bisubstrate inhibitor
Structural highlights
Function[COMT_RAT] 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. Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
