| Abstract |
Phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT) was identified as the primary, high affinity N-methylating enzyme for phenylethanolamine (PEA) in rat, dog and Rhesus monkey lung. Human and rabbit lung, however, do not contain this enzyme but possess a more non-specific or general N-methyltransferase with a relatively low affinity for PEA and for which beta-phenethylamine (beta-PE) is also a substrate. The former but not the latter enzyme is markedly inhibited by micromolar concentrations of the PNMT antagonist, SK & F 64139. This evidence indicates that certain species differences exist for the enzyme system(s) available for the N-methylation of phenethylamine-type compounds in pulmonary tissue. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 July 2023.
All research outputs
#7,451,284
of 22,780,165 outputs
Outputs from Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology
#347
of 1,722 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#1,752
of 6,570 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology
#2
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,780,165 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,722 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 6,570 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
