Lab
Western blot - Anti-COMT antibody [EPR6491(B)] (AB124813)
Lanes 1 - 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab124813 observed at 28 kDa. Red - loading control, ab18058, observed at 130 kDa.
ab124813 was shown to recognize COMT when COMT knockout samples were used, along with additional cross-reactive bands. Wild-type and COMT knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab124813 and ab18058 (Mouse anti Vinculin loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/1000 dilution and 1/10000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with 800CW Goat anti Rabbit and 680CW Goat anti Mouse secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

ab124813 Anti-COMT antibody [EPR6491(B)] was shown to specifically react with COMT in wild-type HEK-293T cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab266537 (knockout cell lysate ab257396) was used. Wild-type and COMT knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab124813 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 Dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody. Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.

Biological function summary
Catechol-O-methyltransferase serves as a regulator of neurotransmitter levels in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. It does not appear to form part of a larger protein complex functioning mainly as a singular entity for metabolizing catechols. Through its action COMT impacts processes such as mood regulation cognition and stress response. Its role in degrading dopamine is especially significant in regions like the prefrontal cortex where dopamine plays an important role in executive functions.
Pathways
COMT participates in the catecholamine degradation pathway and impacts dopaminergic signaling. It works alongside enzymes such as monoamine oxidase (MAO) to regulate levels of neurotransmitters. COMT's activity influences the synaptic presence of dopamine and its interaction in signaling pathways. Moreover it indirectly affects the balance within the dopaminergic system which is important for normal neurological function and behavior.
