Application

Anti-COMT antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

COMT (catechol-O-methyltransferase) catalyzes the O-methylation of catecholamine neurotransmitters and catechol hormones and inactivates them. It may be used in the metabolism of catechol drugs used in the treatment of hypertension, asthma, and Parkinson disease. It is found in soluble as well as membrane-bound form, varying in the N-termini.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

The metabolic O-methylation of endogenous catecholamines and other catechols catalyzed by catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT; EC 2.1.1.6) was first described by Dr. Julix Axelrod and his colleagues almost half a century ago. In the past several years, research interest in this catechol-metabolizing

The catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene occurs as two polymorphic alleles, which code for a high activity thermostable and low activity thermolabile form of the enzyme. We devised a fast solid-phase minisequencing assay for genotyping the COMT gene at nucleotide position 544

In estrogen metabolic pathways, the COMT enzyme is related to detoxification. COMT gene polymorphisms have been shown to effect enzyme function. We hypothesized that these polymorphisms may be risk factors for endometrial cancer (EC). DNA samples from 150 cases of

Human genomic DNA fragments containing catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) sequences were isolated and the exon-intron structure analysed by sequencing, PCR and comparing to the human COMT cDNA sequences. The gene contains six exons, of which exons 1 and 2 are noncoding.
