Abstract excerpt
Flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMOs) catalyze NADPH-dependent monooxygenation of soft-nucleophilic nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorous atoms contained within various drugs, pesticides, and xenobiotics. Flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) is responsible for the majority of FMO-mediated xenobiotic metabolism in the adult human liver. Mutations in the FMO3 gene can result in defective trimethylamine (TMA)...
