儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶（COMT; EC 2.1.1.6）是分解儿茶酚胺（如多巴胺、肾上腺素和去甲肾上腺素）的几种酶之一。在人体，儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶由COMT基因编码^[2]。鉴于在一些疾病中儿茶酚胺的调节受损，数种药物以COMT为标靶，调整其活性来控制儿茶酚胺的浓度^[3]。

COMT在1957年由生物化学家朱利叶斯·阿克塞尔罗德发现^[4]。

功能

儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶参与了儿茶酚胺神经递质（多巴胺、肾上腺素以及去甲肾上腺素）的去活性化，它在儿茶酚胺上加入由 S-腺苷甲硫氨酸（SAM）给予的甲基。具有邻苯二酚结构的物质都是COMT的基质，如儿茶酚雌激素以及含有邻苯二酚的黄酮类化合物。 L-多巴，儿茶酚胺的前驱物，是COMT重要的基质。COMT抑制剂如恩他卡朋，使L-多巴不被COMT分解为3-O-甲基多巴（3-OMD），剩下芳香族L-氨基酸脱羧酶（DACC）途径，同时增加其半衰期^[5]^[6]。延长L-多巴药物时效。

由COMT催化的反应包含:

多巴胺 → 3-Methoxytyramine
DOPAC（英语：DOPAC） → HVA（高香草酸）
去甲肾上腺素 → 去甲变肾上腺素
肾上腺素 → 变肾上腺素
Dihydroxyphenylethylene glycol (DOPEG） → Methoxyhydroxyphenylglycol（英语：Methoxyhydroxyphenylglycol）（MOPEG）
3,4-Dihydroxymandelic acid (DOMA) → Vanillylmandelic acid（英语：Vanillylmandelic acid）（VMA）

在脑部，依赖COMT的多巴胺降解于低多巴胺转运体（DAT）表现的区域特别重要，如前额叶皮质^[7]^[8]。

命名

COMT是编码这个酶的基因的名字。名字中的O意指氧，不是ortho（英语：arene substitution patterns）。

COMT抑制剂

COMT抑制剂包括托卡朋（英语：tolcapone）以及恩他卡朋，常被用于治疗帕金森氏症^[9]。
