General description

Dimethylaniline monooxygenase [N-oxide-forming] 3 (EC 1.14.13.8; EC 1.14.13.148; UniProt P31513; also known as Dimethylaniline oxidase 3, FMO form 2, FMO 3, FMO II, Hepatic flavin-containing monooxygenase 3, Trimethylamine monooxygenase) is encoded by the FMO3 (also known as FMOII, TMAU) gene (Gene ID 2328) in human. Flavin-containing mono-oxygenases (FMOs) constitute a family of microsomal chemical- and drug-metabolizing enzymes, with FMO3 being a major form in adult mouse and human liver. FMO3 is responsible for N-oxidation of a malodorous metabolite, trimethylamine (TMA), to the non-odorous trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO). FMO3 mutations cause trimethylaminuria (TMAU or Fish odor syndrome), a rare inherited disorder due to decreased metabolism of dietary-derived TMA. More than 300 single nucleotide polymorphisms of the human FMO3 have been reported and over 40 of these polymorphisms have been linked to TMAU. 17β-estradiol-dependent ERα activation is reported to play a fundamental role in the regulation of FMO3 gene transcription.
