FunctionPhenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) catalyzes the conversion of norepinephrine (noradrenaline) to epinephrine (adrenaline). This is the last step in the conversion of tyrosine to adrenaline[1]. S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (AdoHcy) by itself or with other ligands are inhibitors of PNMT. RelevancePNMT activity is decreased in Alzheimer disease patients[2]. Structural highlightsThe active site of PNMT contains the substrate and AdoHcy[3]. Water molecules are shown as red spheres. Whole binding site.
