Also known as flavin containing monooxygenase 5, flavin containing dimethylaniline monoxygenase 5, hBVMO1

Dimethylaniline monooxygenase [N-oxide-forming] 5 is an enzyme in humans encoded by the FMO5 gene.

Gene data

FMO5
Name
flavin containing dimethylaniline monoxygenase 5
Type
protein-coding
Aliases
hBVMO1

Metabolic N-oxidation of the diet-derived amino-trimethylamine (TMA) is mediated by flavin-containing monooxygenase and is subject to an inherited FMO3 polymorphism in man resulting in a small subpopulation with reduced TMA N-oxidation capacity resulting in fish odor syndrome Trimethylaminuria. Three forms of the enzyme, FMO1 found in fetal liver, FMO2 found in adult liver, and FMO3 are encoded by genes clustered in the 1q23-q25 region. Flavin-containing monooxygenases are NADPH-dependent flavoenzymes that catalyzes the oxidation of soft nucleophilic heteroatom centers in drugs, pesticides, and xenobiotics. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009].
