Phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase kinetics: bovine versus recombinant human enzyme

Abstract

Epinephrine (Epi) acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain, but its function therein is not well understood. Phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of Epi and is thus a pharmacological target to investigate the function of Epi in the central nervous system. The kinetic differences between bovine adrenal PNMT and human brain PNMT for a number of substrates and inhibitors are examined and the results reported.
