Active Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT)
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Store at 2-8 degree C for one month.
Aliquot and store at -80 degree C for 12 months.
Stability Test:
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.

Bioactivity
(Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT) is one of several enzymes that degrade catecholamines (such as dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine), catecholestrogens, and various drugs and substances having a catechol structure. Two isoforms of COMT are produced: the soluble short form (S-COMT) and the membrane bound long form (MB-COMT). COMT is involved in the inactivation of the catecholamine neurotransmitters (dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine). The enzyme introduces a methyl group to the catecholamine, which is donated by S-adenosyl methionine (SAM). Any compound having a catechol structure, like catecholestrogens and catechol-containing flavonoids, are substrates of COMT. Besides, UDP glucuronosyltransferase 2 family, polypeptide B1 (UGT2B1) has been identified as an interactor of COMT, thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human COMT and recombinant human UGT2B1. Briefly, COMT were diluted serially in PBS, with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100uL were then transferred to UGT2B1-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37 degree C.Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-COMT pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37 degree C. Finally, add 50uL stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of COMT and UGT2B1 was shown in Figure 1, and this effect was in a dose dependent manner.Figure 1. The binding activity of COMT with UGT2B1.)

Product Notes
The COMT comt (Catalog #AAA150144) is an Active Protein produced from E. coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Active Catechol-O-Methyltransferase (COMT) reacts with Homo sapiens (Human) and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Catechol-O-Methyltransferase can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Activity Assay, Cell Culture. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the COMT comt for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Catechol-O-Methyltransferase, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
