COMT ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein catechol-O-methyltransferase, which is encoded by the COMT gene in humans. Functionally, 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. It is known to be localized in the cell membrane and cytoplasm. The COMT gene has been associated with the disease, Schizophrenia. Other alias names for this target include epididymis secretory sperm binding protein Li 98n, testicular tissue protein Li 42, and HEL-S-98n.
Some COMT ELISA kits can detect targets at levels as low as 20 ng/L and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
