| Gene Name | COMT | ||||||||
| Uniprot ID | COMT_HUMAN | ||||||||
| KEGG Pathway | hsa:1312 | ||||||||
| Protein Family | Class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily | ||||||||
| Protein 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.

| Key Mechanism Factor 2 | |||||||||
| Factor Name | Monoamine oxidase | Structure Sequence | |||||||
| Protein Family | Flavin monoamine oxidase family | ||||||||
| Protein Function |
Catalyzes the oxidative deamination of primary and some secondary amine such as neurotransmitters, with concomitant reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide and has important functions in the metabolism of neuroactive and vasoactive amines in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues (PubMed:20493079, PubMed:8316221, PubMed:18391214, PubMed:24169519). Preferentially oxidizes serotonin (PubMed:20493079, PubMed:24169519). Also catalyzes the oxidative deamination of kynuramine to 3-(2-aminophenyl)-3-oxopropanal that can spontaneously condense to 4-hydroxyquinoline (By similarity).

| Recommended Action | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management | In general, COMT inhibitors should not be used concurrently with nonselective MAO inhibitors or other agents that possess MAO inhibiting activity (e.g., furazolidone, linezolid, methylene blue, procarbazine). At least 14 days should elapse between discontinuation of MAO inhibitor therapy and initiation of treatment with COMT inhibitors. | ||||||||
