Background

FMO3 (Flavin-containing Monooxygenase 3) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FMO3 gene. The mammalian flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMO) represent a multigene family whose gene products are localized in the endoplasmic reticulum of many tissues. The FMO3 gene contains 1 noncoding and 8 coding exons. The FMO3 gene is mapped on 1q24.3. Using quantitative RNase protection assays, FMO3 is present in low abundance in fetal liver and lung and in adult kidney and lung, and in much greater abundance in adult liver. By Western blot analysis of human liver microsomal samples ranging from 8 weeks gestation to 18 years of age, FMO1 is the major fetal isoform and FMO3 is the major adult isoform. FMO3 was expressed at intermediate levels until 11 years of age when a gender-independent increase in FMO3 expression was observed during puberty. Sufferers of trimethylaminuria may display a reduced ability to metabolize substrates for FMO3 such as nicotine. FMO3 metabolizes a number of drugs, including amphetamine, clozapine, deprenyl, metamphetamine, tamoxifen, ethionamide, thiacetazone, and sulindac sulfide.

Function

Involved in the oxidative metabolism of a variety of xenobiotics such as drugs and pesticides. It N-oxygenates primary aliphatic alkylamines as well as secondary and tertiary amines. Plays an important role in the metabolism of trimethylamine (TMA), via the production of TMA N-oxide (TMAO). Is also able to perform S-oxidation when acting on sulfide compounds (PubMed:9224773). .

Components

Each vial contains 5mg BSA, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg Thimerosal, 0.05mg NaN3.
