Flavin-containing monooxygenase FMO Identifiers Symbol Flavin_mOase Pfam PF00743 InterPro IPR000960 Available protein structures: Pfam structures PDB RCSB PDB; PDBe PDBsum structure summary The flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) protein family consists of a group of enzymes that catalyze chemical reactions via the bound cofactor flavin. These reactions involve oxidation of heteroatoms, particularly nucleophilic atoms such as the nitrogen of amines.[1]
These enzymes metabolise xenobiotics[2]. Using an NADPH cofactor and FAD prosthetic group, these microsomal proteins catalyse the oxygenation of nucleophilic nitrogen, sulphur, phosphorus and selenium atoms in a range of structurally diverse compounds. FMOs have been implicated in the metabolism of a number of pharmaceuticals, pesticides and toxicants. In man, lack of hepatic FMO-catalysed trimethylamine metabolism results in trimethylaminuria (fish odour syndrome). Five mammalian forms of FMO are now known and have been designated FMO1-FMO5[3][4][5][6][7].
The best-known such protein is called FMO3 and is mutated in the vast majority of cases of trimethylaminuria, a genetic disease that causes deficiencies in breakdown of trimethylamine and gives the patient a fishy body odor.[8] In yeast, FMO proteins are associated with redox cycling of glutathione to glutathione disulfide, a system that maintains the redox state of the cell and heavily influences the protein folding rates of disulfide bond-containing proteins.[9]
