Abstract excerpt
The decreased capacity of the flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) to oxygenate xenobiotics including trimethylamine is believed to contribute to metabolic disorders. The aim of this study was to functionally characterize FMO3 variants recently found in a Japanese population and compare them with selective functional activity of other FMO3 variants. Recombinant Glu158Lys and Glu158Lys-Glu308Gly FMO3 expressed...
