| Full name | phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase |
| Aliases | ,MGC34570,PENT,PNMTase, |
| Gene summary | The product of this gene catalyzes the last step of the catecholamine biosynthesis pathway, which methylates norepinephrine to form epinephrine (adrenaline). The enzyme also has beta-carboline 2N-methyltransferase activity. This gene is thought to play a key step in regulating epinephrine production. [provided by RefSeq] |
