Abstract excerpt
The human flavin-containing monooxygenase (form 3) (FMO3) participates in the oxygenation of nucleophilic heteroatom-containing drugs, xenobiotics, and endogenous materials. Currently, six forms of the FMO gene are known, but it is FMO3 that is the major form in adult human liver that is likely responsible for the majority of FMO-mediated metabolism. The substrate structural feature requirements for human FMO3 is...
