Thiopurine S-methyltransferase and Pemphigus Vulgaris: A Phenotype-Genotype Study
Background & Objective: Thiopurine drugs are considered as a treatment modality in various autoimmune disorders including pemphigus vulgaris (PV). These drugs are metabolized by an enzyme “Thiopurine S-methyl transferase” (TPMT). Various variants of this enzyme may have decreased activity lead...
متن کاملCatechol-o-methyltransferase inhibitor tolcapone improves learning and memory in naïve but not in haloperidol challenged rats
Objective(s): Dopamine plays an important role in cognitive functions. Inhibition of the dopamine-degrading enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) may have beneficial effects. Our aim was to assess the effect of COMT inhibitor tolcapone (TCP) on learning and memory in naïve and haloperidol-challenged rats.Materials and Methods: Male ...
متن کاملNNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase)
The human NNMT gene is approximately 16,5 kb in length, consists of 3 exons and 2 introns, and is mapped to chromosome 11q23.1. The first intron is 1,240 bp in length, while the second is approximately 14 kb long. The sequence of the 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of the NNMT cDNA is present in exon 1, while the sequence of the cDNA 3'-UTR is present in exon 3 (Aksoy et al., 1995). The initiation...

متن کاملMelatonin biosynthesis requires N-acetylserotonin methyltransferase activity of caffeic acid O-methyltransferase in rice
Caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) methylates N-acetylserotonin into melatonin; that is, it has N-acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase (ASMT) activity. The ASMT activity of COMT was first detected in Arabidopsis thaliana COMT (AtCOMT). To confirm the involvement of COMT on melatonin synthesis in other plant species, the ASMT activity of a COMT from rice (Oryza sativa) (OsCOMT) was evaluated...
