Abstract excerpt
The flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs) metabolize a broad range of therapeutics. Consisting of five gene products in humans (FMO1-5), the different FMO family members exhibit pronounced tissue- and temporal-specific expression patterns. Substantial interindividual differences are also observed, and the inability to modulate with exogenous agents is consistent with an important role for genetic variation....
