Target

Full Name
Catechol-O-Methyltransferase
Introduction
COMT (Catechol-O-Methyltransferase) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with COMT include Schizophrenia and Panic Disorder 1. Among its related pathways are Cytochrome P450 - arranged by substrate type and Neurotransmitter Clearance In The Synaptic Cleft. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include magnesium ion binding and catechol O-methyltransferase activity. An important paralog of this gene is LRTOMT.

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.

Involvement in disease
Schizophrenia (SCZD):
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.
