Anti-FMO2 Antibody serum, from rabbit

Dimethylaniline monooxygenase [N-oxide-forming] 2 (EC 1.14.13.8; UniProt Q99518; also known as Dimethylaniline oxidase 2, FMO 1B1, FMO 2, Pulmonary flavin-containing monooxygenase 2) is encoded by the FMO2 (also known as FMO1B1) gene (Gene ID 2327) in human. Flavin monooxygenases (FMOs) are flavin-containing enzymes that catalyze substrates oxidation at the expense of NADPH and molecular oxygen. FMO2 is expressed in the lung tissue and therefore known as the pulmonary FMO. Two FMO2 alleles have been described in human. FMO2.1 is the functional full-length version that is found in high frequency in Sub-Saharan African populations (49%) and their Hispanic descendants (2-7%), whereas the FMO2.2 gene carries a C-to-T transition mutation that results in a premature stop codon (TAG), yielding a C-terminally truncated 64-amino acid non-functional protein FMO2X472 found in all Caucasians and Asians. Known human FMO2.1 substrates include sulfur-derived compounds such as thioureas, thioetherorganophosphates, thiazetazone and ethionamide.
