    Summary
    Enables catechol O-methyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including auditory receptor cell development; catecholamine catabolic process; and positive regulation of protein import. Located in apical part of cell and endoplasmic reticulum. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 63. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 63. Orthologous to several human genes including LRTOMT (leucine rich transmembrane and O-methyltransferase domain containing) and TOMT (transmembrane O-methyltransferase).

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
