| General Function
| Involved in catechol O-methyltransferase activity |
| Specific 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 (By similarity). |
| Pathways
