The following catechol-O-methyltransferase ELISA kits are useful research tools for the measurement of catechol-O-methyltransferase in biological samples. In humans this protein is encoded by the COMT gene. This protein is known to catalyze the O-methylation, and thereby the inactivation, of catecholamine neurotransmitters and catechol hormones. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 271 residues, a mass of 30 kDa, and is a member of the Cation-dependent O-methyltransferase protein family. Its subcellular location is known to be in the cell membrane and cytoplasm. The gene encoding this protein has been associated with the disease, Schizophrenia. This protein may also be known as epididymis secretory sperm binding protein Li 98n, testicular tissue protein Li 42, and HEL-S-98n.
The detection range for different catechol-O-methyltransferase ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 20 ng/L and as high as 100 ng/mL.
