The layout of this reaction may differ from that in the pathway view due to the constraints in pathway layout
3-methoxytyramine (3MT) generated by COMT after methylation of dopamine is oxidized into homovanillic acid (HVA) by monoamine oxidase A (MAOA), bound to its cofactor FAD (Guldberg et al. 1997).
