General description

Flavin-Containing Monooxygenase-3 (FMO3) is a member of the flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) family of enzymes. It is highly expressed in the human liver.

Application

FMO3 is the major human hepatic form.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Flavin-Containing Monooxygenase-3 (FMO3) facilitates the oxidization of several drugs, chemicals, and xenobiotics. Human FMO3 is also involved in the synthesis of N-oxide of trimethylamine (TMAO) from trimethylamine (TMA). Mutations in the FMO3 gene are associated with trimethylaminuria or fish odor syndrome. Deficiency of the FMO3 gene results in lower plasma TMAO levels, which may reduce the risk of developing atherosclerosis and thrombosis.

Essentials Microbe-dependent production of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) contributes to thrombosis risk. The impact of host flavin monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) modulation on platelet function is unknown. Genetic manipulation of FMO3 in mice alters systemic TMAO levels and thrombosis potential. Genetic manipulation

Human flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (hFMO3) catalyses the oxygenation of a wide variety of compounds including drugs as well as dietary compounds. It is the major hepatic enzyme involved in the production of the N-oxide of trimethylamine (TMAO) and clinical studies

Flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) is a hepatic microsomal enzyme that oxidizes a host of drugs, xenobiotics and other chemicals. Numerous variants in the gene encoding FMO3 have been identified, some of which result in altered enzymatic activity and, consequently, altered

The flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) family of enzymes oxygenates nucleophilic xenobiotics and endogenous substances. Human FMO3 and FMO5 are the predominant FMO forms in adult liver. These enzymes are naturally membrane-bound, and recombinant proteins are commercially available as microsomal preparations from
