A) Catecholamine-O-methyltransferase
B) Phenylalanine-N-methyltransferase
C) DOPA decarboxylase
D) Monoamine oxidase
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Phenylalanine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT) is an enzyme found in the adrenal medulla that converts nor-epinephrine (nor-adrenaline) to epinephrine (adrenaline). PNMT is a protein whose encoding gene is found on chromosome 17 in humans. It catalyses the transfer of a methyl group from SAM (S-adenosyl-L-methionine) which is a factor to nor-epinephrine, converting it into epinephrine.
