Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is one of several enzymes that degrade catecholamines (such as dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine) and various substances having a catechol structure. COMT inhibitors such as entacapone, tolcapone and opicapone are used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
