COMT Antibody (PA5-76864) in WB
Western blot was performed using Anti-COMT Polyclonal Antibody (Product # PA5-76864) and 30kDa (M-COMT) and 24kDa (S-COMT) bands corresponding to the two forms of COMT were observed across the cell lines tested. Whole cell extracts (30 µg lysate) of Hep G2 (Lane 1), A-431 (Lane2), PC-3 (Lane 3), THP-1 (Lane 4), Mouse Liver (Lane 5) and Mouse Adrenal Gland (Lane 6) were electrophoresed using NuPAGE™ 4-12% Bis-Tris Protein Gel (Product # NP0321BOX). Resolved proteins were then transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane (Product # LC2002) by ... View More

Product Specific Information
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).
Target Information
Catechol-O-methyltransferase catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to catecholamines, including the neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. This O-methylation results in one of the major degradative pathways of the catecholamine transmitters. In addition to its role in the metabolism of endogenous substances, COMT is important in the metabolism of catechol drugs used in the treatment of hypertension, asthma, and Parkinson disease. COMT is found in two forms in tissues, a soluble form (S-COMT) and a membrane-bound form (MB-COMT). The differences between S-COMT and MB-COMT reside within the N-termini. Several transcript variants are formed through the use of alternative translation initiation sites and promoters.
