| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the pineal gland (at protein level). In the retina, very low expression is found at the mRNA level, and not at the protein level. |
| Function | Isoform 1: Catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group onto N-acetylserotonin, producing melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine). Isoform 2: Does not show Acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase activity. Isoform 3: Does not show Acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase activity. |
