phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase |
Gene Summary |
Enables phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including adrenal gland development; catecholamine metabolic process; and cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus. Located in axon; dendrite; and perikaryon. Biomarker of hypertension and hypoglycemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; hypertension; and multiple sclerosis. Orthologous to human PNMT (phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, May 2025] |
